The types of plastids are-

1) Chloroplasts:- are the green plastids which contain chlorophyll pigments for photosynthesis.....

2) Chromoplasts:- are the coloured plastids for pigment synthesis and storage.....The pigment present in them is carotene which gives a different colour to fruits and flowers.

3) Gerontoplasts:- are the chloroplasts that are going through the ageing process....These are present in the leaves in which no more photosynthesis occurs (such as in the fall months).

4) Leucoplasts: are the colourless plastids for monoterpene synthesis found in non- photosynthetic parts of the plants.

They are of three types:-

a) Amyloplasts- stores starch.

b) Proteinoplasts- stores proteins.

c) Elaioplasts- stores fats and oils.

Answer 2

${\huge {\overbrace {\underbrace {\purple{ANSWER:-}}}}}$

there are 4 main types of plasticide

• chloroplasts
• chromoplasts
• geronoplast
• leucoplast

Explanation:

The chloroplasts are probably the most-known of the plastids. These are responsible for photosynthesis. The chloroplast is filled with thylakoids, which is where photosynthesis occurs, and chlorophyll.

Chromoplasts are what the name describes, a place for the pigments to be stored and synthesized in the plant. These are found in flowering plants, fruits, and aging leaves. The chloroplasts actually convert over to chromoplasts. There are carotenoid pigments here that allow for the different colors you see in fruits and the fall leaves. One of the main reasons for these structures and the colors is to attract pollinators.

Gerontoplasts are basically chloroplasts that are going through the aging process. These are chloroplasts of the leaves that are beginning to convert into different organelles or are being re-purposed, since the leaf is no longer utilizing photosynthesis (such as in the fall months).

Leucoplasts are the non-pigmented organelles. Unlike the others we have talked about, leucoplasts have no color at all. They are found in the non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots. Depending on what the plant needs, they may become essentially just storage sheds for starches, lipids, and proteins. They are more readily used for synthesizing amino acids and fatty acids.

Leucoplasts are further subdivided into three different plastids:

• Amyloplasts
• Proteinoplasts
• and Elaioplasts

Amyloplasts are the largest of the three and are charged with storing starch. Then there are the proteinoplasts that help to store the proteins that a plant needs and are typically found in seeds. Finally, the elaioplasts are used to store fats and oils that are needed by the plant, specifically in seeds.
