  2. Plastid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastid

    Plastid. A plastid is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, algae, and some other eukaryotic organisms. Plastids are considered to be intracellular endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. [ 1 ] Examples of plastids include chloroplasts (used for photosynthesis); chromoplasts (used for synthesis and storage of pigments); leucoplasts (non ...

  3. Proteinoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinoplast

    Proteinoplasts (sometimes called proteoplasts, aleuroplasts, and aleuronaplasts) are specialized organelles found only in plant cells. Proteinoplasts belong to a broad category of organelles known as plastids. Plastids are specialized double-membrane organelles found in plant cells. [1][2] Plastids perform a variety of functions such as ...

  4. Symbiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis

    Symbiogenesis (endosymbiotic theory, or serial endosymbiotic theory[2]) is the leading evolutionary theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. [3] The theory holds that mitochondria, plastids such as chloroplasts, and possibly other organelles of eukaryotic cells are descended from formerly free-living prokaryotes ...

  5. Etioplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etioplast

    Etioplast. Etioplasts are an intermediate type of plastid that develop from proplastids that have not been exposed to light, and convert into chloroplasts upon exposure to light. They are usually found in stem and leaf tissue of flowering plants (Angiosperms) grown either in complete darkness, or in extremely low-light conditions.

  6. Amyloplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloplast

    Amyloplast. Amyloplasts are a type of plastid, double-enveloped organelles in plant cells that are involved in various biological pathways. Amyloplasts are specifically a type of leucoplast, a subcategory for colorless, non-pigment-containing plastids. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Amyloplasts are found in roots and storage tissues, and they store and synthesize ...

  7. Chloroplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroplast

    A chloroplast (/ ˈklɔːrəˌplæst, - plɑːst /) 1 2 is a type of organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells. Chloroplasts have a high concentration of chlorophyll pigments which capture the energy from sunlight and convert it to chemical energy and release oxygen.

  8. Plastid evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastid_evolution

    Plastid evolution. A plastid is a membrane-bound organelle found in plants, algae and other eukaryotic organisms that contribute to the production of pigment molecules. Most plastids are photosynthetic, thus leading to color production and energy storage or production. There are many types of plastids in plants alone, but all plastids can be ...

  9. Phragmoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmoplast

    The phragmoplastis a plant cellspecific structure that forms during late cytokinesis. It serves as a scaffold for cell plateassembly and subsequent formation of a new cell wallseparating the two daughter cells. The phragmoplast can only be observed in Phragmoplastophyta, a clade that includes the Coleochaetophyceae, Zygnematophyceae ...
