Answers
Answer:
Amyloplasts are leucoplasts that function mainly in starch storage. They are colorless and found in plant tissues that do not undergo photosynthesis (roots and seeds). Amyloplasts synthesize transitory starch which is stored temporarily in chloroplasts and used for energy.
Answer:
They make up the bulk of plant tissue. Thin-walled (no secondary walls), roughly cube-shaped, and often loosely packed, they are the least specialized of the three basic plant cell types. Parenchymal cells retain the ability to divide to form other types of cells, much as stem cells do in our own bodies. Their primary functions are metabolism, including photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and storage.The flesh of fruits and vegetables such as potatoes are made of parenchymal cells.
