Plants can convert solar energy into usable chemical energy via the process of photosynthesis. As a result, plant tissues have distinct
cellular differences that help with this task. Consider the differences between leaf and root cells. Both contain plastids, but they are
used in different capacities. Explain the differences between the plastids found in these two plant tissue cells. ALL BUT ONE answer
could apply
Plastids in leaf cells are called chloroplasts.
Plastids in root cells are amyloplasts and are used to storage starch.
Plastids in leaf cells contain pigments, are utilized for photosynthesis.
Plastids in roots cells are large and designed to store water for later use.
