plastids:
Plastids are double membraned organelles which are found in plant cells only. They are usually spherical or discoldal in shape and their average size is 4 to 6 um. A plastid shows tow distinct regions-grana and stroma Grana are stacks of membrane-bound, flattened, discold sacs containing chlorophyll molecules. These molecules are responsible for the production of food by the process of photosynthesis.
functions:
1. By trapping solar energy, green plastids manufacture food through photosynthesis
2. Chromoplasts provide colored to various flowering parts.
3. Leucoplasts help in storage of protein, starch and oil.
