How do Lipid Inclusions Differ from Other Cytoplasmic Inclusions?
Unlike other cytoplasmic inclusions such as glycogen granules or pigment inclusions, lipid inclusions are not membrane-bound and are primarily composed of neutral lipids. Glycogen granules are polysaccharides used for short-term energy storage, while pigment inclusions like melanin and hemosiderin have roles in protection and iron storage, respectively.
