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 dedicated to storing starch in plants.
2. These non-photosynthetic organelles are primarily located in storage tissues, including tubers and seeds.
3. Structures such as vacuoles, ER, or general plastids do not specifically function in starch storage.
