Detailed explanation-1: -There are a wide variety of inclusion bodies in different types of cells. In prokaryotic cells, they are mainly formed to store reserve materials. In animal cells, they store fats and sugars that are ready for cellular respiration and in plant cells, they store granules of materials like glycogen, starch, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria have reserved food material stored in cytoplasm. The reserved food is concentrated polymeric, organic deposits, osmotically inert and also known as cytoplasmic inclusions. Cytoplasmic inclusions are found dispersed in the cytoplasm or sometimes enclosed by membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are water-insoluble protein aggregates formed in the bacterial cytoplasm (and eventually periplasm) during the overproduction of recombinant proteins, especially those from viral or mammalian origin [1].

Detailed explanation-4: -In prokaryotes, the reserve food materials such Glycogen, Cyanophycean starch and Polyphosphates are stored as inclusion bodies.
