Question

Starch is stored in

• A. Chromoplasts
• B. Amyloplasts
• C. Chloroplasts
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

• Plastids are a pigment containing double membrane-bound organelle which is the site of manufacture and storage of chemical compounds.
  
• Plastids are of three types on the basis of the pigments present within them:-
• 1. chloroplast (green plastid), 2. The chromoplast (coloured plastid) and 3. Leucoplast (colourless plastid).
• Leucoplasts differentiate into specialized plastids to store the starch and are called amyloplasts.
• The glucose which is not used up in the metabolic activities is stored in the stroma of the chloroplast in the form of starch grains.
• So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.
