What are plant organelles used for storage of starches lipids or pigments?
Plastids are the main organelles that store these compounds. All plastids are related in origin and many can become other types given the right circumstances. Photosynthesizing plastids are known as chloroplasts (the most commonly known type) Plastids for pigment storage are known as chromoplasts Starch storage plastids are called amyloplasts. However, some pigments in plants, such as the pink/purple/blue anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of the cells.
