Starch, but this class of plastids also stores lipids and proteins and has three sub-names for these functions. Also these plastids can have biosynthetic properties.

What are three function of plastids?
chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts
What is plastidome?
The content of a cell in plastids - chloroplasts and/or leucoplasts.
What are the characteristics of the presence or absence of plastid?
its a membrane bound cell organelles.its clasified into 2.colourless plastids are called leucoplasts and colourful plstid is caleed chromoplast. they usually store various substances
What function do the leukoplast have in the potato plant?
the leucoplasts are plastids without color that are storing different substances (such as starch in the potato). you can find leucoplasts in parts of a plant that are subterranean (roots). when potatoes are exposed to the sun the leucoplasts will transform into chloroplasts (so they will become green). i am sorry for my english...
What is the organelle that is only found in plants and algae?
Leucoplasts are organelles found only in algae. Leucoplasts refers to unpigmented plastids.

What is plastidome?
The content of a cell in plastids - chloroplasts and/or leucoplasts.
What is the function of plastide?
In plastids function varies with plastid type. Leucoplasts main function is storage, subtypes of leucoplasts include amyloplasts (store starch granules), proteinoplasts (store proteins) and elaioplasts (store oils). Statoliths are a type of amyloplasts that are used as a gravity sensing mechanism by the roots. A type of plastids called chromoplasts store pigments. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.
What substances do leucoplasts contain?
Plastids that are colorless and found in storage parenchyma and other colorless tissues are referred to as leucoplasts. Most of them function as storage organelles.
How does a plastid function within a cell?
There are no plastids in chromoplasts per se. Chromoplasts are a type of plastids. Chromoplasts store pigments which give color to certain parts of the plant and allow it to absorb certain wavelengths of light. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.
What are the characteristics of the presence or absence of plastid?
its a membrane bound cell organelles.its clasified into 2.colourless plastids are called leucoplasts and colourful plstid is caleed chromoplast. they usually store various substances
What are 3 general types of plastids?
Plastids include leucoplasts, chromoplasts, chloroplasts, and geontoplasts. Plastids are colored pigments that are found in most plant cell structures in the cytoplasmic matrix.
What function do the leukoplast have in the potato plant?
the leucoplasts are plastids without color that are storing different substances (such as starch in the potato). you can find leucoplasts in parts of a plant that are subterranean (roots). when potatoes are exposed to the sun the leucoplasts will transform into chloroplasts (so they will become green). i am sorry for my english...
Functions of leucoplasts?
Leucoplasts are colorless. They are cylindrical or round in shape. They are found in unexposed cells. They can change to other types of plastids. They take part in storage of food example amyloplasts, elaioplasts, aleuroplasts etc.
Which biomolecule is NOT stored in plastids?
Lots of things aren't stored in plastids. Nucleic acids, for example. Plastids mainly store starch and pigments, although other stuff might get stored there as well.
What organic compound do leucoplasts store?
Starch
What is the organelle that is only found in plants and algae?
Leucoplasts are organelles found only in algae. Leucoplasts refers to unpigmented plastids.
