===Cytoplasmic inclusions=== {{main|Cytoplasmic inclusion}} The inclusions are small particles of insoluble substances suspended in the cytosol. A huge range of inclusions exist in different cell types, and range from crystals of [[calcium oxalate]] or [[silicon dioxide]] in plants,<ref name="Prychid1999">{{Cite journal |last=Prychid, Christina J. |last2=Rudall, Paula J. |year=1999 |title=Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Monocotyledons: A Review of their Structure and Systematics |url=https://academic.oup.com/aob/article-pdf/84/6/725/7983834/840725.pdf |journal=Annals of Botany |volume=84 |issue=6 |pages=725β739 |doi=10.1006/anbo.1999.0975 |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="Prychid2003">{{Cite journal |last3=Gregory, M. |vauthors=Prychid CJ, Rudall PJ |year=2004 |title=Systematics and Biology of Silica Bodies in Monocotyledons |journal=The Botanical Review |volume=69 |issue=4 |pages=377β440 |doi=10.1663/0006-8101(2004)069[0377:SABOSB]2.0.CO;2 |jstor=4354467 |s2cid=24520433}}</ref> to granules of energy-storage materials such as [[starch]],<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Ball SG, Morell MK |year=2003 |title=From bacterial glycogen to starch: understanding the biogenesis of the plant starch granule |journal=Annual Review of Plant Biology |volume=54 |pages=207β233 |doi=10.1146/annurev.arplant.54.031902.134927 |pmid=14502990}}</ref> [[glycogen]],<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Shearer J, Graham TE |date=April 2002 |title=New perspectives on the storage and organization of muscle glycogen |journal=Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology |volume=27 |issue=2 |pages=179β203 |doi=10.1139/h02-012 |pmid=12179957}}</ref> or [[polyhydroxybutyrate]].<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Anderson AJ, Dawes EA |date=December 1990 |title=Occurrence, metabolism, metabolic role, and industrial uses of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates |journal=Microbiological Reviews |volume=54 |issue=4 |pages=450β472 |doi=10.1128/MMBR.54.4.450-472.1990 |pmc=372789 |pmid=2087222}}</ref> A particularly widespread example are [[lipid droplet]]s, which are spherical droplets composed of lipids and proteins that are used in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes as a way of storing lipids such as [[fatty acid]]s and [[sterol]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Murphy DJ |date=September 2001 |title=The biogenesis and functions of lipid bodies in animals, plants and microorganisms |journal=Progress in Lipid Research |volume=40 |issue=5 |pages=325β438 |doi=10.1016/S0163-7827(01)00013-3 |pmid=11470496}}</ref> Lipid droplets make up much of the volume of [[adipocyte]]s, which are specialized lipid-storage cells, but they are also found in a range of other cell types.
