  • Plastids: Which Biomolecule Isn't Stored?
    The biomolecule that is NOT stored in plastids is proteins.

    Here's why:

    * Plastids are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis, storage of various substances, and pigment synthesis.

    * Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes, which are found in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum.

    * Plastids primarily store:

    * Carbohydrates (starch)

    * Lipids (fats and oils)

    * Pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids)
