Chromoplasts store red, yellow, or orange carotenoid pigments. They synthesize and store carotenoid pigments. For example, they are seen in carrots, tomatoes and red peppers.

What is the functions of Chloroplast and etioplast Chromoplast Leucoplast Amyloplast Proteinoplast?

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Etioplasts are chloroplast precursors that develop in darkness. Chromoplasts store pigments for fruit and flower coloration. Leucoplasts are involved in storing starch, while amyloplasts specifically store starch. Proteinoplasts are responsible for synthesizing and storing proteins within a cell.


What is the difference between chromoplast and leucoplast?

Difference between chloroplast and chromoplast : Chloroplast; 1) Chloroplast are green plastids. 2) They contains chlorophyll and carotenoids. 3) Lamellae are present in them. 4) They are sites of photosynthesis. Chromoplast: 1) Chromoplasts are non-green coloured plastids. 2) Chlorophylls are absent only carotenoids are present. 3) Lemallae are absent in them. 4) They add colour to the organs( e.g., flowers, fruits) for attracting animals to perform pollination and fruit dispersal.


What is the name given to areas in plant cells that store starch and pigment molecules?

The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.


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.
