Plastids

The plastid  is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, algae, and some other eukaryotic organisms.

  • They are considered endosymbiotic Cyanobacteria.
  • Plastids were discovered and named by Ernst Haeckel, but A. F. W. Schimper was the first to provide a clear definition.
  • Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cells of autotrophic eukaryotes.
  • They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments in a plastid determine the cell's color.
  • They have a common evolutionary origin and possess a double-stranded DNA molecule that is circular, like that of the circular chromosome of prokaryotic cells
