Explain the types of Leucoplasts with their functions..
➪ Avoid giving short answer..!!
Answers
Answer:
Leucoplasts are of three types:
Amyloplasts – Amyloplasts are greatest among all three and they store and synthesize starch.
Proteinoplasts – Proteinoplasts help in storing the proteins that a plant needs and can be typically found in seeds.
Elaioplasts -Elaioplast helps in storing fats and oils that are needed by the plant.
Explain the types of Leucoplast ?
Leucoplasts are classified into three groups :-
- Amyloplasts (which store starch).
- Elaiplasts or Oleoplasts (store lipids).
- And Proteinoplasts (store proteins).
Amyloplasts are responsible for storing starch, which is a nutritive polysaccharide found in plant cells, protists and some bacteria.
Elaiplasts are (botany) of Leucoplast that stores oil. plastids are organelles involved in the synthesis and storage of food.
Proteinoplasts are Leucoplast that contain crystalline bodies of proteins.
Functions :-
→ Leucoplasts are colorless plastids which perform the function of storage of oil, starch, and proteins.
→ Leucoplast also involved in the biosynthesis of palmitic acid and certain amino acids on the other hand chloroplast involved in biosynthesis of fatty acids and amino acids.
