…They are found in undifferentiated plant cells such as meristematic tissues, but not in animal cells or fungi, and are organelles that develop from protoplastids, which are rod-shaped or oblong bodies measuring 1 to 3 μm in size and lack chlorophyll. Their shape, internal structure, and function vary significantly depending on the species, and include chloroplasts that are photosynthetic organelles, leucoplasts that lack chlorophyll, etioplasts in etiolated plants, amyloplasts that have large storage starch, chromatoplasts found in yellow and orange cells, protenoplasts that contain protein crystals, and oleoplasts that have large oil droplets and lipid granules. As has been well studied in chloroplasts, each plastid has its own DNA, RNA, and enzymes, and is transmitted to the next generation through reproductive cells as a self-replicating organelle. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Oleoplast" are listed below.
