Plastids, in which materials such as starch, oils and protein granules are stored, are called: Correct Answer Leucoplasts

The correct answer is Leucoplasts.

  • Leucoplasts are present in plant cells, located in tissues such as roots, bulbs, and seeds. They are plastids category but colourless (non-pigment) as compared to the other plastids like chloroplast.
  • Chromoplast is a plastid which contains a pigment called lycopeneconsists (red, yellow and orange coloured pigments). It is present in the lumina of membrane sacs as a form of crystals.
  • A chloroplast (a type of plastid) is an organelle within the green plant cell and certain algae that is the site of the photosynthesis process. It contains chlorophyll to absorb light energy. Chloroplasts have small circular chromosomes known as extranuclear DNA.
  • Chromatophore, pigment-containing and light-reflecting cell in the deeper layers of the skin of animals. It is the cause of changes in colour or brightness in the organism. chromatophores are termed melanophores (black), erythrophores (red), xanthophores (yellow), or leucophores (white). The distribution of the chromatophores and the pigments they contain determine the colour patterns of an organism.

Phytase, an enzyme produced by Aspergillus niger can be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCCP). The adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm and the maximum concentration of the protein that can be obtained on the adsorbent is 70 mg cm-1. At a concentration of 50 mg L-1 of protein in the solution, the concentration of protein on the adsorbent reaches 35 mg cm-1. It is desired to recover 90% of the protein from 1.5 liter of the cell free culture filtrate containing 220 mg L-1 protein by addition of MCCP to the solution. The concentration of the protein adsorbed on the solid at equilibrium will be:
