The document discusses the structures and functions of different organelles in plant cells including plastids, ergastic substances, and crystals based on observations from a biology lab.

The document discusses different types of plastids (chloroplasts, chromoplasts) found in various plant tissues and their functions in photosynthesis and pigment storage.

The document lists examples of ergastic substances (starch grains) found in potato, bean, corn, rice, and banana cells and their locations within the cells.
