Name the types of plastides found in plant cells and also write there functions
Answers
Answer:
plastids are of three types
Explanation:
there are 3 types of plastids found plant cells:
chromoplast, chloroplast and leucoplast
1. chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll which is necessary for plants in order to do photosynthesis and make their own food.
2. chromoplast contain other pigments which provide colour to fruits and flowers.
3. leucoplasts are white or usually colourless plastics which help in the storage of starch and other food materials.
Answer:
Plastides :
▪️Plastides Are Found In All Plant Cell And In Euglonoids .
▪️These are Easily Observed Under The Microscope As They Are Large .
▪️There Are Some Specific Pigments , Thus Imparting Specific Colours To The Plant .
Types of Plastides :
It is mainly based on the pigment.
▪️Chloroplast
▪️Chrmoplast
▪️Leucoplast
Functions :
➡️Chloroplast :
Chloroplast contains Chrollophl , and Carotenoid pigment which is responsible for trapping light energy essential for photosynthesis.
➡️Chromoplast :
Chrmoplast contains Fat Soluble Carotenoid Pigment like Carotene , Xanthoplyll and other are present. This gives the part of the plant a yellow, orange, red
➡️Leucoplast :
Leucoplast are Colourless Plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients.
Amyloplast : Store Carbohydrates (starch)
Example : Potato
Elaioplast : Store Oils
Aleuroplast : Store Protiens
