Differentiate between Leucoplast & chromoplast
Answers
Leucoplast refers to a colorless organelle found in plant cells, used for the storage of starch or oil, while chromoplast refers to a colored plastid other than a chloroplast, typically containing a yellow or orange pigment. Thus, this is the main difference between leucoplast and chromoplast.
Chloroplast differs from leucoplast in terms of colors. ... Chloroplast is pigmented while its compatriot exists without pigments. The former is present in leaves of the plant to facilitate photosynthesis while leucoplast is situated in the roots of the plant and it doesn't take part in photosynthesis of the plants.
Question :
Differentiate between Leucoplasts & Chromoplasts.
Answer :
Leucoplasts :-
1. It is a type of organelle which is found in plants.
2. Leukoplast do not have a lot of photosynthetic pigment.
3. It is responsible for storage of glucose.
Chromoplasts :-
1. It is a type of pigment synthesis organelle.
2. Function of chromoplast is to store photosynthetic eukaryotes.
3. It is also responsible storage and as well as synthesize carotenoid pigment.
