Plastids refer to the double membrane bound organelles found in plant cells. 

* They are found in the cytoplasm.

* Plants make and store food in plastids.

* They have their own DNA and Ribosomes.

* They can be classified into two types:

  • Chloroplast
  • Leucoplast

* Chloroplasts are the plastids containing the green pigment called chlorophyll. They are necessary to carry the process of photosynthesis.

* Chloroplasts also contain orange and yellow pigments.

* Leucoplast stores starch, oils and protein granules.

* Plastids have many membranous layers embedded in surface called stroma.
