Study Notes

Reserve Material in Prokaryotic Cells

  • In prokaryotic cells, reserve materials are stored in the cytoplasm in the form of inclusion bodies.
  • These inclusion bodies are not bound by any membrane system.
  • Instead, they lie free in the cytoplasm.
  • Examples of inclusion bodies include:
    • Phosphate granules
    • Cyanophycean granules
    • Glycogen granules
