What do you call the plastids in potato cells?
Amyloplasts
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.
Is the amyloplast found in animal or plant cells?
Amyloplasts are found in plant cells.
How many amyloplast organelles in a potato cell?
The main function of amyloplasts in potatoes are to store starch and sugars in the potatoe cells.
What is the function of an amylosplast?
Amyloplasts are cells in plants which convert glucose to starch (using polymerisation). It also stores these starches and then converts them back into sugar for the plant to use as an energy source.
What are the organella found in plant cells but not animal cells?
There are several organells.Chloroplast,glyoxisomes,pigment containing vescles,amyloplasts are some.
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
Are there cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine?
Yes epithelial cells are stained
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 components of a cell are unique for plant cells?
If by components, you mean organelles then there are amyloplasts , chloroplasts ,vacuole..
What is the structure of amyloplast?
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
Is the amyloplast a source of sugar?
Yes, amyloplasts store starch in potatoe cells and when the cell is ready will help in the process of making sugar.
