The three types of plastids are :
- Chloroplasts
- Chromoplasts
- Leucoplasts
Let us learn more about each of the types of plastids below:
1. Chloroplasts:
- Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments are present in the chloroplast.
- They can trap the energy from sunlight, which facilitates the process of photosynthesis in green plants.
- Also, the green colour of leaves is imparted by chlorophyll.
2. Chromoplasts:
- Fat soluble pigments are present in chromoplasts like carotene, xanthophyll, and some others.
- The colours like red, orange, yellow are imparted by these pigments.
3. Leucoplasts:
- Unlike chloroplast and chromoplast, leucoplast is colourless. It can be found in various shapes and sizes and helps in the storage of nutrients.
- Again, leucoplast is of three types-
- Amyloplast - Stores carbohydrates, as in potato
- Elaioplast - Stores fats and oils, as in citrus fruits
- Aleuroplast - Stores proteins, as in seeds of some plants, maize
