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.
Photosynthesis pigments are found in the?
Chlorophyll in chloroplasts in the cells.
Is starch found in plant or animal cells?
plants
Which organelle store food or pigments?
Accessory pigments are found in plant cells and cyanobacteria. The thylakoid is the compartment, or organelle, where they are stored.
Where is starch stored in potato plants?
The general consensus of the advanced higher biology class has found that starch is stored in roots, tubers, leaves, rhisomes and bulbs in plants.happy days.
Is plastid found in the nucleus?
The plastid is found in the cytoplasm, which is outside the nucleus. It is a specialized structure where starch, oils, proteins or pigments are stored.
What is the function of the leucoplast?
Leucoplast - Leucoplasts are a category of plastid and as such are organelles found in plant cells. They are non-pigmented, in contrast to other plastids such as the chloroplast. Lacking pigments, leucoplasts are not green, so they are predictably located in roots and non-photosynthetic tissues of plants
What is the definition of chlorplasts?
Chlorplast isn't a word, but chloroplast is, if that's what you mean. Chloroplast: Found in green plant cells, a plastid containing chlorophyll and other pigments and creates glucose through photosynthesis.
Where is cholorplast found?
A chlorophyll-containing plastid found in algal and green plant cells.
An type of organelle found in plant cells that includes chloroplasts and chromoplasts?
Plastid
What can store plant pigments?
The chloroplasts store pigments. They are found only in plant cells, not animal cells. They store chlorophyll and other pigments.
What is the purpose of starch in human cell?
Starch isn't found in human cells. Glycogen is found in animal cells.

Is starch found in plant cells?
Yes.
What are chloroplasts how are they structured and in what kind of cells are they found?
It is for the photosynthesis. we found them in plant cells.
