Question

Starch, the major product of photosynthesis in leaves, gets accumulated in:

• A. Vacuoles
• B. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• C. Amyloplasts
• D. Plastids

Hint:

Amyloplasts are a type of leucoplast that stores starch, distinct from chloroplasts involved in photosynthesis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Amyloplasts are specialized plastids that store starch in plants.
2. They are non-photosynthetic organelles, predominantly found in storage tissues like tubers and seeds.
3. Other options like vacuoles, ER, or general plastids are not specific for starch storage.
