Plastids are generally not found in animal cells. They are typically only present in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have plastids as they do not perform photosynthesis, which is the primary function of plastids.
Cyanobacteria are believed to be the common ancestor of all photosynthetic plastids found in eukaryotes. Through a process called endosymbiosis, cyanobacteria were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell, giving rise to plastids like chloroplasts. This event played a crucial role in the evolution of photosynthesis in eukaryotes.
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.
The three general types of plastids are chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis; chromoplasts, which store pigments that give fruits and flowers their color; and leucoplasts, which are involved in storing starches and oils in plants.

yes
Plastids refers to the major organelle that is found in the cells of the algae and plants. Plastids are used for the site manufacture and storage of the important chemical compounds that is used by the cell.

chloroplast is one of plastids found in plant cell ...plastids r lacking in animal cells
Plastids are cells found in plants. They mainly contain pigments beneficial to the plant, such as those used in photosynthesis.
Plastids are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. They are responsible for functions such as photosynthesis, storage of pigments, and synthesis of complex biochemical compounds. Plastids can include chloroplasts, which carry out photosynthesis, and other types like leucoplasts and chromoplasts, which have specialized functions.
the chloroplasts and plastids.
Plastids are found in plant cells. They are membrane-bound organelles that play various roles, such as photosynthesis in chloroplasts, storage of pigments in chromoplasts, and synthesis of oils and starches in amyloplasts.
Plastids are organelles that are found in the plant cell . Plastids act as the site for manufacture and storage of various compounds. They consist of the photosynthetic pigments which use light energy to make food molecules.
