Structure of leucoplast in short.

Dear student,                                                                                                                                                                    
Please find below the solution to the asked query  
          
Leucoplasts are a type of plastids which lack photosynthetic pigments. They store starch (Amyloplasts), proteins (aleuroplasts) and fats (elaioplasts). They are described as amoeboid in shape and smaller in size than the chloroplasts. They have an extensive network of stromules which connect them together to cluster around the nucleus.

They serve various functions, for example, storage of starch, lipids, or proteins. Plastids of these three types are respectively known as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, and proteinoplasts. A leucoplast may also perform biosynthetic functions such as the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acids, and various other compounds.
