WHAT DOES PLASTID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

plastid

Plastid

The plastid is a major organelle found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine the cell's color. They possess a double-stranded DNA molecule, which is circular, like that of prokaryotes.
