Chromoplasts - are red, yellow or orange in color and are found in petals of flowers and in fruit. Their color is due to two pigments, carotene and xanthophyll.
Leucoplasts - are colorless plastids and occur in plant cells not exposed to light, such as roots and seeds. They are colorless due the absent of pigments.
Chloroplasts - are probably the most important among the plastids since they are directly involved in photosynthesis. They are usually situated near the surface of the cell and occur in those parts that receive sufficient light, e.g. the palisade cells of leaves. The green color of chloroplasts is caused by the green pigment chlorophyll.

These are Leucoplasts: storage plastids (named after what they store)
Amyloplast which stores starch
Elaioplast which stores oils and lipids
Proteinoplast...self explanatory.
These have other functions that may or may not include pigments to effect their colors.
Chromoplast which is rich in chlorophyll and undergoes photosynthesis
Etioplasts which are chloroplast that have not been exposed to light. Very commonly found in angiosperms grown in the dark
Proplastid which is a very young plastid found in meristomatic cells (growth cells)
there are 3 different types of plastids
Plastids include leucoplasts, chromoplasts, chloroplasts, and geontoplasts. Plastids are colored pigments that are found in most plant cell structures in the cytoplasmic matrix.
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.
plastids
they are located (in a plant cell) anywhere, not just in one place

schimper discovered plastids!!
plastids are in cells, so whatever plastids are in cells are in the plant leaf.
Plastids are present in the storage tissue.
van neil discovered plastids
Animal cell do not have cell wall while plant cell do have cell wall. In Animal cell plastids are usually absent and plant cell have plastids.
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
NO. PARAMOECIUM DOESN' T HAVE PLASTIDS BECAUSE IT IS A GENUS OF PROTOZOA. ONLY PLANTS HAVE PLASTIDS. FOR e.g. ALGAE-CHLAMYDOMONAS
these plastids contain chlorophyl.what kind of plastids are they?
