What are plant organelles used for storage of starches lipids or pigments?

∙ 12y ago
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.

∙ 12y agoplant cells have undifferentiated cell organelle known as plastids which possess the ability to store different substances.
Plastids that are specialized to store pigments are known as chromoplasts.
Plastids that are specialized to store the chlorophyll pigments are known as chloroplasts.
Plastids that are specialized to store starch are known as amyloplasts.

Compare the structures and functions of the biomolecules lipids and starches?
Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Starches are composed of monosaccharides. In lipids you find less number of oxygen than in carbohydrates. Therefore, lipids give you twice as much energy as carbohydrate. Lipids constitute the bilayer, which is not the case with starch.
Is sugar and starches lipids?
No, starch and lipids are two different organic compounds. Starch is a complex carbohydrate. Lipids are fat molecules.
What indicators are used for each molecule simple sugars starches lipids proteins?
simple sugars- benedicts starches- iodine protein- biuret lipid- brown paper bag test
Which test tube or depression plate served as a control in the test for monosaccharides starches lipids and proteins?
Distilled Water!
Are photosynthetic pigments lipids?
No. But they have a degree of hydrophobic charachteristics. This allows them to be held within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids or that contain pigments?
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids are called plastids, but not the chloroplasts.
What plant organelles store starches or lipids or that contain pigments?
chloroplasts
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids or that contain lipids?
Plant organelles that store starches or lipids are called plastids, but not the chloroplasts.
Which structure stores starches or lipids or contains pigments?
vacuoles
What component is not stored in plastide?
Amino acids is not stored in plastids. Things that are stored in plastids are lipids, pigments, and starches.
What is the difference between lipids and starches?
Lipids are organic compounds which are fatty acids and insoluble in water. Starches, meanwhile, are carbohydrates which are tasteless and odorless.
Are starches and sugars lipids or carbohydrates?
carbohydrates
