The ultimate origin of all plastids is believed to be cyanobacteria through a process called primary endosymbiosis. This involved a eukaryotic cell engulfing a cyanobacterium, which eventually evolved into plastids such as chloroplasts in plants.
No.
Yes. Plastids can have several colors or can be colorless. The green plastids can perform photosynthesis and are named chloroplasts.
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.
On the basis of plastids a plant cell can be recognized from animal cell. The plant cells have several plastids including chloroplasts. Animal cells are characterized by their abscence.
Leucoplasts are plastids that store mainly starch, lipids, and proteins in plant cells. They lack pigment and are involved in the storage of energy reserves and other important molecules needed by the plant.
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.
No.
The Spirit is the ultimate origin of all mental and spiritual gifts.
no it is not important for animals
schimper discovered plastids!!
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.
plastids are in cells, so whatever plastids are in cells are in the plant leaf.
devin
van neil discovered plastids
Plastids are present in the storage tissue.
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
NO. PARAMOECIUM DOESN' T HAVE PLASTIDS BECAUSE IT IS A GENUS OF PROTOZOA. ONLY PLANTS HAVE PLASTIDS. FOR e.g. ALGAE-CHLAMYDOMONAS
