Description

Test your knowledge on inclusion bodies - the stockpiles of organic and inorganic material that cells store for future use. Learn about the different types of inclusion bodies, including those made of proteins and lipids, and the polymers they store such as glycogen, polyhydroxybutyric acid, and inorganic metaphosphate. Discover how these granules are affected by starvation and their unique features as seen under an electron microscope. Take this quiz to see how much you know about inclusion bodies!
