The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Leucoplasts and Chromoplasts. Difference # Leucoplasts: 1. They are colourless plastids. 2. Leucoplasts usually occur in unexposed parts of plants. 3. Internal lamellae are present. 4. They take part in storage of various substances like starch (amyloplasts), fat (elaioplasts) and protein (aleuroplasts). 5. The shape is more regular, mostly rounded. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of chloroplast. This will help you to draw the structure and diagram of chloroplast. 1. Chloroplasts (Figs. 295-296), responsible for the photosynthesis of the plants, are the characteristic features of the cells of green plants. 2. Around the chloroplast is present a double membrane envelope. 3. Each membrane of chloroplasst [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Types of Plastids in Cell 2. Structure of Chloroplastid 3. Origin 4. Function. Types of Plastids in Cell: Plastids may be coloured or colourless and are of three types. The leucoplasts are the colourless plastids principally serving the purpose of storage. On the basis of nature of storage compound, leucoplastids are amyloplasts [...]
