Amyloplast (Starch Grain): A membrane-bound organelle containing concentric layers of starch (amylopectin). This organelle is commonly found in subterranean storage organs, such as tubers (potatoes), corms (taro & dasheen), and storage roots (sweet potatoes). Amyloplasts are also found in bananas and other fruits. So Basically it makes and stores starch.
Hope this helps
Amyloplasts convert granules (starch), back into sugar when the plant needs energy.
Structures in a plant cell that store starch grains. Often found in potato plants.
An amyloplast is a starch forming granule in plant cells. They also convert starch back to sugar when plants need it.
It depends.........
But usually it is near the vacuole.
Amyloplasts change glucose in starch and appear mostly in plant cells and animal cells.
Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles that are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch. This process is done through the polymerization of glucose.
Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in plant cells. Their main function is to convert glucose into starch through the process of polymerization.

Another plant cell plastid other than the chloroplast is the amyloplast. Amyloplasts are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules. They also convert this starch back into sugar when the plant needs energy.
Amyloplast is also called leucoplast. It is a nonpigmented organelle, or plastid, occurring in the cytoplasm of plant cells. It transforms glucose (which is a simple sugar) into starch. The process of doing this is called polymerization. Amyloplast stores starch grains within their streched membranes. They also can transform starch into sugar when the plant needs energy.
The cell wall gives the plant cell structure and protection.
it prtects the cytoplasum i think

starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.

This is the definition of an Amyloplast . A that forms starch granules and occurs in the cell of the plant storage tissue .
Cell wall, amyloplast, chloroplast.
The main function of amyloplast is to store starch granules in some plant cells. They are also responsible for synthesizing these starch granules.

The main function of amyloplasts in potatoes are to store starch and sugars in the potatoe cells.
Like the mom of a cell
you can find amyloplast in animal and plant cells
I hope this is your question 'What is in a plant cell?' : *Cell Wall *Cell Membrane *Vacuole *Nucleus *Nucleolus *Nuclear Membrane *Cloroplast *Mitochondrion *Cytoplasm *Amyloplast *Centrosome *Rough ER *Smooth ER *Ribosomes *Golgi Body
