Question

diffrence between leukoplast and chromoplast

Answer 1

Some points in n leukoplast are as follows:-

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 storage.

Some points in chromoplast are as follows:-

1. It is a type of pigment 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.

Answer 2

DIFFRENCE BETWEEN LEUKOPLAST AND CHROMOPLAST

LEUCOPLAST

• They are colourless plastids.

• They usually occur in unexposed parts of plants.

• Internal lamellae are present.

• They take part in storage of various substances like starch (amyloplasts), fat (elaioplasts) and protein (aleuroplasts).

• The shape is more regular, mostly rounded.

• They can change to other types of plastids.

• Leucoplasts do not attract animals as they are colourless.

CHROMOPLAST

• They are orange-red plastids.

• They are commonly found in exposed parts like flowers and fruits.

• Internal lamellae degenerate.

• Chromoplasts are rich in carotenoid and lipids.

• The shape is irregular and having angles due to crystallisation of pigments.

• They do not get changed to other types.

• Being coloured, chromoplasts attract animals for pollination and fruit dispersal.
