Presentation Transcript

  1. Plastids

  2. Leukoplasts • Colorless plastid in the cytoplasm of plant cells that makes and stores starch.

  3. Amyloplasts • Colorless plastid that forms starch granules and occurs in cells of plant storage tissue

  4. Chromoplasts • An organelle containing any plant pigment other than chlorophyll. • The pigments may be yellow, orange, or red. • Usually most numerous in cells of flowers

  5. Chloroplasts Structure • Enclosed in a double membrane • Ellipsoidal shape

  6. Grana • Stacks of thylakoids, connected with a system of tubes • Function in the light of photosynthesis • Chloroplast can have from 10 to 100 grana

  7. Thylakoid membrane • Contain chloroplast and other pigments arranged in antenna arrays to capture light reactions of photosynthesis. • Arranged into stacked and unstacked regions • This is called grana and stromathylakoids • This is where photosynthesis is carried out

  8. Stroma • Fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thykaloid membrane • Colorless hydrophobic matrix, contains DNA, ribosomes and some temporary products of photosynthesis • Complex mix of enzymes and water

  9. Functions • Only in plant cells • Use photosynthesis to make ATP which is energy for the cell • Chlorophyll is responsible for production of food

  10. Other Notes • The function of chloroplasts damaged by linolenic acid in Spinach • Somewhat similar to the mitochondria • Structure highly complex, but the functions of each of these membranes aren’t that complex

  11. What is the plastid that has pigments? Chloroplasts Leukoplasts Chromoplasts
