Lots of things aren't stored in plastids. Nucleic acids, for example. Plastids mainly store starch and pigments, although other stuff might get stored there as well.

What is the name given to areas in plant cells that store starch and pigment molecules?

The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.


What polysaccharides do plants store in plastids?

Plants store glucose polymers as starch in their plastids, such as chloroplasts and amyloplasts. Starch serves as a reserve energy source that can be broken down into glucose when needed for growth or metabolism.


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.


Are plastids found in animal cells?

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.
