Solution
Inorganic Granules:
Cytoplasmic granules or inclusion bodies are concentrated deposits of specific chemicals that are present/located in the cytoplasm of certain bacteria.
Volutin granules, for example, are high-energy reserves held in the form of polymerized metaphosphate and serve as nutrient storage regions.
Sulphur granules, volutin granules, magnetite granules, iron granules, and other varieties are available.
Inorganic cell inclusions or granules come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all include inorganic material.
