From the following subcellular compartments which are called the storage place proteins? Which of the subcellular compartments is known to be storage place proteins? (a)Chloroplast (b)Plastids (c)Aleuroplasts (d)Elaioplasts (oleosomes)
Option C Aleuroplast is a leucoplast type of plastid that is involved in the storage of proteins. Chromoplasts are plastids, heterogeneous organelles responsible for pigment synthesis and storage in specific photosynthetic eukaryotes. Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in some plant cells. They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose. Elaioplasts are a type of leucoplast that is specialized for the storage of lipids in plants.
