Detailed explanation-1: -Inclusions are stored nutrients/deutoplasmic substances, secretory products, and pigment granules. Examples of inclusions are glycogen granules in the liver and muscle cells, lipid droplets in fat cells, pigment granules in certain cells of skin and hair, and crystals of various types.

Detailed explanation-2: -The part of a cell that is used as storage space is the vacuole. Vacuoles are found in eukaryotic cells and are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells. In a plant cell, the vacuole is a large central space that stores water, as well as other important molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inclusions are visible expressions of cell metabolism. The inclusion is an integral part of the cell’s metabolic machinery, it is important in adjusting the environment of the cell, thereby regulating certain metabolic events, or might represent a product of the cell’s metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Apart from the cell organelles, cells contain some non-living substances, either in the cytoplasm or in vacuoles. These substances are called cell inclusions. These may be food products like starch and oil globules, or waste materials like gums, resins, latex and tannins.
