mention the different types of plastids write their function
Answers
Plastids are double-membrane organelles which are found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are responsible for manufacturing and storing of food. These often contain pigments that are used in photosynthesis and different types of pigments that can change the colour of the cell.
-Amyloplasts: for starch storage and detecting gravity (for geotropism)
-Elaioplasts: for storing fat.
-Proteinoplasts: for storing and modifying protein.
-Tannosomes: for synthesizing and producing tannins and polyphenols.
Answer:
1) Chloroplasts
2) Chromoplasts:
3) Leucoplasts:
Explanation:
1) Chloroplasts:- are the green plastids which contain chlorophyll pigments for photosynthesis.
2) Chromoplasts:- are the coloured plastids for pigment synthesis and storage.
3) Leucoplasts: are the colourless plastids for monoterpene synthesis found in non- photosynthetic parts of the plants.
