Nathanael Sanford · Answer 1

True (if you are talking about the functions of the organelle)

Explanation:

Cytoplasmic inclusions are substances that accumulate in the cell cytoplasm. They differ from organelles by not having metabolic activity. Among the functions they fulfill are the storage of nutrients and minerals, and the accumulation of substances resulting from secretions or excretions of cellular metabolism.

Glycogen granules, lipids, crystallized proteins, pigments and essential oils are examples of substances that the cell stores as cytoplasmic inclusions. They were first observed in 1786, by the Danish naturalist O. F Müller, while conducting research on liver cells.

Cytoplasmic inclusions are an important part of the cell. Its main functions are the storage of nutrients and inorganic substances, and the accumulation of secretions or excretions resulting from the secondary metabolism of the cell.
