How does FtsZ find the cell midpoint of a rod-shaped cell?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Because MinC and MinD dwell longer at the center than elsewhere in the cell during their oscillation cycle
  2. Because the center of the cell has the lowest concentration of MinC and MinD
  3. Because MinD oscillates from pole to pole, sweeping MinC and E aside as it moves along
  4. Because MinC and D promote cell division by preventing the FtsZ ring from forming
