$\large\green{\underline{{\bf Functions:-}}}$

$\large{\boxed{{\bf\pink{✧ Chloroplasts}}}}$

• The most important function of chloroplast is to make food by the process of photosynthesis. Food is prepared in the form of sugars. During the process of photosynthesis sugar and oxygen are made using light energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Light reactions takes place on the membranes of the thylakoids.

$\large{\boxed{{\bf\blue{✧Chromoplasts }}}}$

• The main evolutionary purpose of chromoplasts is to attract animals and insects to pollinate their flowers and disperse their seeds. The bright colors often produced by chromoplasts is one of many ways to achieve this. Many plants have evolved symbiotic relationships with a single pollinator.

$\large{\boxed{{\bf\pink{✧Gerontoplasts}}}}$

• A plastid that forms from chloroplast during senescence Supplement Plastids are organelles involved in the synthesis and storage of food. They are found within the cells of photosynthetic eukaryotes.

$\large{\boxed{{\bf\blue{✧Leucoplasts}}}}$

• Leucoplasts are colorless plastids found in endosperm, tubers, roots and other non-photosynthetic tissues of plants. They serve various functions, for example, storage of starch, lipids, or proteins. Plastids of these three types are respectively known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, and proteinoplasts.
