Question

What do aleuroplasts store?

Answer 1

Aleuroplasts:

1. It is a leucoplast protein found in the maze, brazil nuts, and many plant seeds.
2. It includes protein crystalline bodies.
3. Because aleuroplast contains crystalline bodies of proteins, these bodies serve as activity sites for the enzymes that interact with these proteins.
4. They also contribute to the production of amino acids.
5. The aleuroplast contains fewer thylakoids (membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria).
6. They are the site of the light-dependent photosynthetic processes).
7. Aleuroplasts specialise in protein production and storage.
8. Aleuroplasts are smaller in size than chloroplasts.
