Question

While observing a cell under microscope, you noticed plastids in the cell what can you conclude about the cell. Class 8th Cell structure

Answer 1

Answer:

Organelles, called plastids, are the main sites of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. Chloroplasts, as well as any other pigment containing cytoplasmic organelles that enables the harvesting and conversion of light and carbon dioxide into food and energy, are plastids. Found mainly in eukaryotic cells, plastids can be grouped into two distinctive types depending on their membrane structure: primary plastids and secondary plastids. Primary plastids are found in most algae and plants, and secondary, more-complex plastids are typically found in plankton, such as diatoms and dinoflagellates. Exploring the origin of plastids is an exciting field of research because it enhances our understanding of the basis of photosynthesis in green plants, our primary food source on planet Earth.
