Q

Group of dynamic organelles able to perform many metabolic functions such as
synthesis, storage, and export of specialized lipid molecules; storage of carbohydrates
and iron; and formation of colors in flowers and fruits.
▪Site of synthesis of amino acids: isoleucine, valine, and those that contain aromatic
rings (phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine), or are derived from aspartate (lysine,
