Substances in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light?
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are the main pigments found in plastids that absorb various wavelengths of light in photosynthesis. These pigments help capture and convert light energy into chemical energy to drive the process of photosynthesis in plants.
What is the structure that captures the sun's energy when synthesizing carbohydrates?
It is the Chloroplasts, or plastids, that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy.
Who discovers plastids?

What plastids would be in a plant leaf?
plastids are in cells, so whatever plastids are in cells are in the plant leaf.
Where plastids are present?
Plastids are present in the storage tissue.
Who had discovered plastids?
van neil discovered plastids
What determines the color of plastids?
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
Does a paramecium contain plastids?
NO. PARAMOECIUM DOESN' T HAVE PLASTIDS BECAUSE IT IS A GENUS OF PROTOZOA. ONLY PLANTS HAVE PLASTIDS. FOR e.g. ALGAE-CHLAMYDOMONAS
What is the shape of the cells of the onion epidermis?
these plastids contain chlorophyl.what kind of plastids are they?
What best describe a chloroplast?
A chloroplast is an organelle in the plant cell to help produce energy from photosynthesis.OR a plastid
What are plastids used for?
Plastids refers to the major organelle that is found in the cells of the algae and plants. Plastids are used for the site manufacture and storage of the important chemical compounds that is used by the cell.
Are plastids found in animal cells?
Plastids are generally not found in animal cells. They are typically only present in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have plastids as they do not perform photosynthesis, which is the primary function of plastids.
