Question

Define cell inclusion.

Answer 1

• Cytoplasmic inclusions are non-living intracellular substances that are not bound by any membranes and do not carry out any metabolic activity.
  
• They are stored in the form of nutrients, secretory products and granular pigments present within the cytosol of the cytoplasm.
• Eg- lipid droplets in fat cells, pigment granules in skin cells and hair cells, water-containing vacuoles and crystals.
