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 structure of amyloplast?
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
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
What components of a cell are unique for plant cells?
If by components, you mean organelles then there are amyloplasts , chloroplasts ,vacuole..
Do potato cells have catalase?
Yes, potato cells do have catalase.
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.
What do you call the plastids in potato cells?
Amyloplasts
What does a potato do for the potato plant?
Potatoes (the part we eat), are modified underground stems called stolons. The stolons have cells that store starch in a type of plastid called amyloplasts.
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 structure of amyloplast?
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
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!
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.
What organelle would you find in large numbers in the root cell of a plant?
Amyloplasts are organelles without any pigments found in some plant cells. Large numbers can be found in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as in potato tubers.Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is can be seen when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green
Is the amyloplast found in animal or plant cells?
Amyloplasts are found in plant cells.
What does the amyloplast do in a cell?
Amyloplasts transform glucose into starch by polymerization and store the starch grains in the stroma. They are non-pigmented plastids, and most of them can be found in underground storage tissues of plants, such as potato.
What is the function of amyloplasts cells?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules
