These are responsible for photosynthesis. The chloroplast is filled with thylakoids, which is where photosynthesis occurs, and chlorophyll.

Chromoplasts are what the name describes, a place for the pigments to be stored and synthesized in the plant.

Gerontoplasts are basically chloroplasts that are going through the aging process.


Leucoplasts are the non-pigmented organelles. Unlike the others we have talked about, leucoplasts have no color at all.
