2022年5月11日 · Plastid is a double membrane-bound organelle involved in the synthesis and storage of food, commonly found within the cells of photosynthetic plants. Plastids were discovered and named by Ernst Haeckel, but A. F. W. Schimper was the …

Plastids are sites for manufacturing and storing pigments and other important chemical compounds used by the cells of autotrophic eukaryotes. Some contain biological pigments such as used in photosynthesis or which determine a cell's color.

Plastids are the double-membrane organelle found in the cells of plants and are the main sites of photosynthesis in all eukaryotic cells. There are four main types of plastids.

2023年2月3日 · Plastids are a group of double membrane-bound organelle found in almost all types of cells in plants and algae, and also in some other higher organisms. They were discovered and named by Ernst Haeckel, while A. F. W. Schimper was the first to define plastids.

2024年4月7日 · Plastids, identified as intracellular endosymbiotic cyanobacteria, are found in eukaryotic organisms like plants and algae. Examples include chloroplasts for photosynthesis, chromoplasts for pigment synthesis and storage, and leucoplasts, non-pigmented plastids that can differentiate.

Plastids are pivotal subcellular organelles that have evolved to perform specialized functions in plant cells, including photosynthesis and the production and storage of metabolites.

Plastids are present in all living plant cells and some protozoans (Euglena). These are small bodies with double membranes, approximately spherical or disc-shaped, and 1 µm to 1 mm in diameter. Plastids may also appear elongated, lobed, or amoeboid in shape.
