Plants organelles that store starches or lipid or contain pigment?
Plastids.
What is the function of starches in food?
Starches are produced by plants to store energy from the sun. When we consume starches, our bodies can use them for energy, too. Starch, however, does not have any nutritional benefits and is dispensable from the human diet.
Where do the plants store their sugars and starches for future use?
In their stem and leaves only
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids or that contain lipids?
Ah, what a delightful question! Organelles that store starches are called amyloplasts, while those that store lipids are known as oleosomes or lipid droplets. These organelles play important roles in storing energy for the plant and helping maintain its structure and function. Just like how we all have different roles to play in this beautiful world, each organelle has its own special job to do within the plant cell.
Does a potato store its carbohydrates as sugars or starches?
Potatoes store carbohydrates as starches, mainly in the form of amylose and amylopectin. These starches act as an energy reserve for the plant and are converted into sugars when needed for growth or energy.
What plant organelles store starches or lipids or that contain pigments?
The plant organelles that store starches are called amyloplasts, while those that store lipids are called elaioplasts. Organelles containing pigments are called plastids, with chloroplasts containing chlorophyll (green pigment) and chromoplasts containing other colored pigments such as carotenoids.
Why do leucoplasts turn blue?
Leucoplasts are generally colourless. Iodine stains starches blue, so this is probably what you're seeing. Leucoplasts are a type of plastid, meaning they store and produce things in cells. Leucoplasts specifically tend to store starches which is why iodine turns them blue. Hope this helps!
