Question

Function of leucoplast

Answer 1

Leucoplasts are colorless plastids

found in endosperm, tuber sroots and other non-photosynthetic tissues of plants.

They serve various functions, for example, storage of starch, lipids, or proteins. Plastids of these three types are respectively known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, and proteinoplasts. A leucoplast may also perform biosynthetic functions such as the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acids, and various other compounds.
