Question

Besides leucoplasts, starch grains are developed in?

• A. Chromoplast
• B. SER
• C. Chloroplast
• D. Plastoglouli

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chromoplast

Leucoplasts are a category of plastid and as such are organelles found in plant cells. Lacking photosynthetic pigments, leucoplasts are not green and are located in non-photosynthetic tissues of plants, such as roots, bulbs and seeds. They may be specialized for bulk storage of starch, lipid or protein and are then known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, or proteinoplasts (also called aleuroplasts) respectively. The chromoplasts contain pigment while the leucoplasts are colourless plastids and stores starch. In general, leucoplasts are much smaller than chloroplasts and have a variable morphology.

So the correct option is 'chromoplast'.
