When a Bacillus anthracis population suddenly must form spores to survive a harsh nutrient poor environment, how do the cells obtain energy?

A) Cells in a growth phase that have not used up all of their energy will be the only ones to make endospores, which is why relatively few endospores are often made from a large population. B) Intracellular energy reserves are quickly made available to produce endospores. C) Slow responding cells are cannibalized by others that already began spore formation. D) Global regulation is initiated to minimize energy waste in biosynthetic pathways and catabolic pathways are increased to consume remaining usable substrates to fuel spore formation.

A) a DNA sequence for a nuclear localization signal into the DNA that will be present in the mature protein. B) the protein during mitosis, at a time when the nuclear membrane is dispersed. C) a nucleotide or few nucleotides to the DNA sequence for the protein. D) a series of specific polysaccharides to the carboxyterminal end of the protein. E) inverted repeats to the DNA sequence for the protein.
