Is the amyloplast important to a plant cell?

Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in some plant cells. They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.[1] Amyloplasts also convert this starch back into sugar when the plant needs energy. Large numbers of amyloplasts can be found in fruit and in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as inpotato tubers. Amyloplasts are starch grains.Amyloplasts are plastids, specifically leucoplasts. Plastids are a specialized class of cellular organelles that carry their own genome and are believed to be descendants of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which formed a symbiotic relationship with the eukaryotic cell.Starch synthesis and storage also takes place in chloroplasts, a type of pigmented plastid involved in photosynthesis. Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is for instance observed when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green.


What is the meaning of gravitropism?

Gravitropism is when the roots grow deeper into the soil with the force of gravity pushing it. Wow, I'm in elementary school and my first person ever asking me something. It's a pleasure answering your question. I wish you luck on what ever your doing.

What organelle would you find in large numbers in the root cell of a plant?

Amyloplasts are organelles without any pigments found in some plant cells. Large numbers can be found in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as in potato tubers.Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is can be seen when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green
