Question

primary functions of leucoplasts and chloroplasts
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Leucoplasts :

Plants contain plastids that contain colouring pigments. Common example - Chloroplast.

Colourless plastids are called as Leucoplast.

They are commonly found in the non-photosynthetic parts of plant and storage parts .

The primary function of leucoplast is the storage of starch, lipids and proteins.

It may also perform the biosynthetic function of formation of amino acids, fatty acids and sucrose.

Chloroplasts :

The function of chloroplasts is to convert sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into food for the plant. Chloroplasts are energy organelles, and are present in all types of plants.
