Plastids are often referred to as "the powerhouses of the cell" due to their role in energy production and storage. Specifically, chloroplasts, a type of plastid, are known for their function in photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy. Additionally, plastids can also store important substances like starch, oils, and pigments, contributing to the cell's metabolic functions.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Who had discovered plastids?
van neil discovered plastids
Where plastids are present?
Plastids are present in the storage tissue.
What determines the color of plastids?
the color of plastids are similar to the chlorophyll in the chloroplast.
Does a paramecium contain plastids?
NO. PARAMOECIUM DOESN' T HAVE PLASTIDS BECAUSE IT IS A GENUS OF PROTOZOA. ONLY PLANTS HAVE PLASTIDS. FOR e.g. ALGAE-CHLAMYDOMONAS
What is the shape of the cells of the onion epidermis?
these plastids contain chlorophyl.what kind of plastids are they?
What are plastids used for?
Plastids refers to the major organelle that is found in the cells of the algae and plants. Plastids are used for the site manufacture and storage of the important chemical compounds that is used by the cell.
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 the chloroplast green?
Yes. Plastids can have several colors or can be colorless. The green plastids can perform photosynthesis and are named chloroplasts.
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.
All chloroplast are plastid but not plastid are chloroplast?
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.
