Question

Write down the names of different types of Plastids along with their one location in plants.​

Answer 1

Answer:

there are three types of plastids

Chloroplast: present in mesophyll of leaf

choromplast: present in flowers and fruits to provide with colour

Leucoplast: it stores food and is a storage unit present inside the fruit

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hey... mate...✌✌

Plastids are double-membrane organelle which are found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are responsible for manufacturing and storing of food. 

These often contain pigments that are used in photosynthesis and different types of pigments that can change the colour of the cell.

Types of Plastids

There are different types of plastids with their specialized functions. Among which few are mainly classified based on the presence or absence of the Biological pigments and their stages of development.

• Chloroplasts

• Chromoplasts

• Gerontoplasts

• Leucoplasts

Chromoplasts

Chromoplasts is the name given to an area for all the pigments to be kept and synthesized in the plant. These can be usually found in flowering plants, ageing leaves and fruits. 

Gerontoplasts

These are basically chloroplasts that go with the ageing process. Geronoplasts refer to the chloroplasts of the leaves that helping to convert into different other organelles when the leaf is no longer using photosynthesis usually in an autumn month.

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 needs of the plants. 

Leucoplasts are of three types:

• Amyloplasts – Amyloplasts are greatest among all three – Amyloplasts, proteinoplasts and elaioplasts and are easily charged with storing starch.

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

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