alleryPlastids that store starch in tubers like potato are called
AElaioplasts
BChloroplasts
CChromoplasts
DAmyloplasts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Amyloplasts
Leucoplasts subdivide into amyloplasts (starch storage, as in potato tubers), elaioplasts (oils and fats), and aleuroplasts (proteins).
Chloroplasts hold chlorophyll; chromoplasts hold carotenoids.
