Where will you find plastids in a leaf cell?

The correct answer is cytoplasm.

Key Points

•  Cytoplasm:-
  • Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of a cell.
  • It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
  • Cytoplasm also contains organelles, which are specialized structures that perform specific functions within the cell.
  • Plastids are found in the cytoplasm of leaf cells.
  • They are typically located in the mesophyll cells, which are the cells in the middle of the leaf blade. Mesophyll cells are specialized for photosynthesis, and plastids are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place.

Additional Information

•  Cell Membrane:-
  • It is also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells.
  • It is made up of a double layer of phospholipids, which are molecules that have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail.
• Nucleus:-
  • The nucleus is the control center of the cell.
  • It is a spherical organelle that is surrounded by a double membrane.
  • The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material, which is organized into chromosomes.
• Cell Wall:-
  • A cell wall is a rigid, external layer that surrounds some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane.
  • It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid.
  • It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.
