Inclusion bodies are aggregates of stable substances like proteins in the cytoplasm. They are formed due to the multiplication of virus or bacteria in the host cell and can also be used for the diagnosis of the respective viral or bacterial disease. They also help in the storage of cellular metabolic products and are not membrane-bound.
So, the incorrect statement is 'These are involved in ingestion of food particles'.

As you know,the ribosome of prokaryotes is 70S while eukaryotes have 80S.Nucleus is lack in all prokaryotes as it a membrane bound cell organelle .The cell of prokaryotes is consists of peptidoglycan and a typical eukaryotic cell (e.g.human cell) lacks cell wall.plants having cell wall made up of cellulose which is also differ from eukaryotes.So,the remaining option B is correct!! But the plasma membrane is not completely resembles in both of them as the prokaryotes lack sterol in their PM while eukaryotes have sterol and carbohydrates in their PM.

Explanation:
Inclusion bodies are non-membranous structures found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. These structures serve as storage sites for various substances and are involved in the regulation of metabolic activities. However, they do not possess any membrane-bound structure and are freely present in the cytoplasm.
Statements a) and c) are true. Reserve materials such as glycogen, polyphosphate, and sulfur are stored in these structures. Gas vacuoles are found in blue-green bacteria and serve as buoyancy organelles.
Therefore, the statement that is not true regarding inclusion bodies in prokaryotes is option b) - They are bound by a single membrane.
