Plastids in cells are like grocery stores. They are the center of specialized metabolic activities in the cell and are where proteins are stored.
The most familiar plastid is the chloroplast, which is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells. It contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that captures sunlight to convert into energy for the plant.
A colorless plastid that stores starch is called a leucoplast. Leucoplasts are responsible for starch storage in plant cells and do not contain pigments like chlorophyll, hence they appear colorless.
Plastids are like the kitchens of plant cells because they are involved in storing and processing energy, similar to how a kitchen stores and processes food for the household. Just like different rooms in a house have specialized functions, different types of plastids have specific roles such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis and leucoplasts for storing starch.
leucoplast
Plastid
Animals cells do not have plastid but plants do.
All chloroplasts are plastids because chloroplasts are plastids containing chlorophyll. But, all plastids are not chloroplasts because only those plastid that contains chlorophyll are chloroplasts.
in a cell ofcourse
yes
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.

Amyloplasts! :)
chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts
The answer is plastids.
chloroplasts
I don't no
