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.

How does light affect the rate at which food spoils?

Yes, light makes food spoil faster. Energy causes decay and deterioration. Light is a form of energy,and the more energy exposed to the food, the more quickly food will spoil.


Analogy for plastids?

Plastids are like the kitchens of plant cells because they are involved in storing and processing energy, similar to how a kitchen stores and processes food for the household. Just like different rooms in a house have specialized functions, different types of plastids have specific roles such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis and leucoplasts for storing starch.
