Question

What is leucoplast ???

​

Answer 1

Leucoplasts :

– These are the non - pigmented organelles which are colourless. Leucoplasts are usually found in most of the non-photosynthetic parts of the plant like roots. They act as a storage sheds for starches, lipids, and proteins depending on the need of the plants. They are mostly used for converting amino acids and fatty acids.

– Leucoplasts are of three types :

• Amyloplasts – Amyloplasts are greatest among all three and they store and synthesize starch.

• Proteinoplasts – Proteinoplasts help in storing the proteins that a plant needs and can be typically found in seeds.

• Elaioplasts – Elaioplast helps in storing fats and oils that are needed by the plant.
