because it is an important structure
Plastids are categorized in three types-
1. Leucoplasts- responsible for storage
2. Chromoplsts- provide coloration to the plant
3. Chloroplasts- responsible for photosynthesis

Plastid.
The storage plastid in photosynthesis with the prefix meaning white is called a leukoplast. Leukoplasts are colorless plastids that store nutrients such as starch.
No, cytoplasm and plastid are not the same. Cytoplasm is the fluid inside a cell that contains organelles, while plastids are a specific group of organelles found in plant cells (like chloroplasts). Plastids have their own DNA and are responsible for functions like photosynthesis in plants.
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.
Animals cells do not have plastid but plants do.
The plant structure that stores food and pigments is the vacuole. The vacuole plays a crucial role in storing nutrients, sugars, and pigments in plant cells. These stored pigments help give plants their characteristic colors.
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
a small, double-membraned organelle of plant cells and certain protists, occurring in several varieties, as the chloroplast, and containing ribosomes, prokaryotic DNA, and, often, pigment. by Garrett david cron
Plastid
chloroplasts
Amyloplasts! :)
The answer is plastids.
chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts
