The odd one out of this is Leucoplast. Leucoplast is a plastid type while others are plant pigments imparting colour to various parts.
- Leucoplast is a kind of plastid present in photosynthetic eukaryotes especially plants.
- Plastids are mainly concerned with the storage of photosynthetic products( eg. Starch) and plant pigments like Chlorophyll and are found in different forms.
- Leucoplasts are plastids lacking any pigments and are colourless, unlike Chloroplasts(green) or chromoplasts(orange/yellow/blue).
- The major function of this plastid is to store starch, oil and proteins.
- Leucoplasts are classified into three forms accordingly to the storage products - Amyloplasts , Elaioplasts and Proteinoplasts/Aleuroplasts.
- Amyloplast stores Starch.
- Elaioplast is the storage house of oils/fats.
- Proteinoplasts are where the protein gets accumulated.
