Lacking photosynthetic pigments, leucoplasts are located in non-photosynthetic tissues of plants, such as roots, bulbs and seeds.They may be specialized for bulk storage of starch, lipid or protein and are then known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, or proteinoplasts (also called aleuroplasts) respectively.
as external source i used another structure found on the book "molecular cell biology" from james darnell, harvey lodish and david baltimore. i tried to convine all in a complete yet simple diagram. i finish it on the 03-feb-05 —LadyofHats 01:12, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)" Between the changes made are: removed the leucoplast, under request.
The colorless pigmentation of the leucoplast is due to not containing the structural components of thylakoids unlike what is found in chloroplasts and chromoplasts that gives them their pigmentation. [4] From leucoplasts stems the subtype, proteinoplasts, which contain proteins for storage.
Leucoplast: in algae, the term is used for all unpigmented plastids. Their function differs from the leucoplasts of plants. Their function differs from the leucoplasts of plants. Apicoplast : the non-photosynthetic plastids of Apicomplexa derived from secondary endosymbiosis.
A diagram showing the different types of plastid. Amyloplasts are thought to play a vital role in gravitropism.Statoliths, a specialized starch-accumulating amyloplast, are denser than cytoplasm, and are able to settle to the bottom of the gravity-sensing cell, called a statocyte. [5]

English: A diagram of a typical prokaryotic cell. This diagram, made in Adobe Illustrator, is an improved version of a similar diagram, Prokaryote cell diagram.svg, which was also made by LadyofHats. Besides general appearance changes, this version adds plasmids and pili, and notes that DNA is circular.
In cellular biology, inclusions are diverse intracellular [1] non-living substances (ergastic substances) [2] that are not bound by membranes.Inclusions are stored nutrients/deutoplasmic substances, secretory products, and pigment granules.
