Question

Imagine that the positions of leucoplast, chromoplast and chloroplast is in flowers,
leaves and roots respectively. What changes will you observe in the plant? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Chloroplast, chromoplast, and leucoplast, all three are types of plastids.

Leucoplast is a colourless plastid, involved in storage of starch lipid and proteins. Being colourless, leucoplasts are devoid of any pigments.

Chloroplast are green coloured plastids containing thylakoids and photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll. Chloroplast are involved in photosynthetic production of carbohydrates.

Chromoplasts are plastids responsible for pigment synthesis. They give distinctive colours to different fruits, flowers and ageing leaves in plants.  

All the plastids (chromoplast, chromoplast and leucoplast) are thought to be descended from symbiotic prokaryotes and therefore, they all divide by a fission like process.
