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.
Is keratin a biomolecule?
Yes, keratin is a biomolecule. It is a structural protein found in hair, nails, and skin, providing strength and protection to these tissues.
What component is not stored in plastide?
Amino acids is not stored in plastids. Things that are stored in plastids are lipids, pigments, and starches.
What structures are used by plant stored pigments starch protein and oil?
plastids

Who discovers plastids?
schimper discovered plastids!!
What plastids would be in a plant leaf?
plastids are in cells, so whatever plastids are in cells are in the plant leaf.
Where plastids are present?
Plastids are present in the storage tissue.
Who had discovered plastids?
van neil discovered plastids
Structures of the biomolecule called prostacyclin?
biomolecule called prostacyclin? what is the functional group?
What biomolecule is preferred by cells as a source of energy to produce ATP?
This biomolecule is glucose.
What determines the color of plastids?
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
