What is the structure of amyloplast?
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
What do amyloplasts store in potato cells?
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
What is the name of a major storage compound that is found in the cytoplasm?
Starch. Not in solution, but stored in organelles, amyloplasts.
What is a analogy for DNA?
Blue prints for a building are an analogy for DNA.
What is the function of the amyloplast in plant cell?
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

Where do starch grains develope in a cell?
in the amyloplasts
Which kind of plastid in roots of the plants?
Amyloplasts! :)
What is the name of the carbohydrate that amyloplasts are made of?
starch
What do you call the plastids in potato cells?
Amyloplasts
Plastid which is more common in roots of plant?
Amyloplasts! :)
What is the function of amyloplasts cells?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules
Is the amyloplast found in animal or plant cells?
Amyloplasts are found in plant cells.
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.
Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensively by iodine?
Yes, other cellular structures such as human epithelial cells can be stained intensely by iodine. However, when examining amyloplasts, you must come to that conclusion yourself. Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine? What can you conclude about the location of starch in storage cells of potato? Good luck and ChaCha on!
What is the analogy for ship?
analogy for a ship is analogy for a ship so its an analogy
