Question

Name the types of plastids. Where are they found in plant cell?

Answer 1

# Plastid

<> It occurs in most plant cells and is absent in animals. Plastids are of the following three types:

* Chloroplasts: Green-coloured plastids which are present in green algae and higher plants. They capture the sun's energy and help in the process of photosynthesis. They give green colour to the plant.

* Chromoplasts: Coloured plastids (except green colour)

* Leucoplasts: Colourless plastids.

Answer 2

Answer:

The three types of plastids found in plants are leucoplasts, chromoplasts and chloroplast.

Explanation:

• Leucoplasts- these are food storing plastids. These are further of 3 types elaioplasts( oil painting storing), amyloplasts( carbs storing) and proteinoplasts( protein storing).
• Thses are present as food storing bodies in the factory cells.
• Chromoplasts- these are color furnishing plastids. Carotenoids which give red color to carrots is one of the illustration of chromoplasts.
• These sre scattered throughout the cytoplasm of coloured corridor of shops.
• Chloroplasts- photosynthetically active plastid. These are simply present in photosynthetically active corridor of shops like leaves.
• The green color of leaves is due to chlorplasts
