Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial inclusions are specialized regions within the cytoplasm that are used for storing nutrients, energy reserves, and occasionally waste products. These inclusions allow the bacteria to maintain a balanced growth rate even under adverse environmental conditions. Examples of inclusions include glycogen granules, polyphosphate granules, sulfur globules, magnetosomes, and gas vesicles, among others.
