Answer:

They are a membrane bound clusters or set of starch grains just like amyloplasts in plant cells. They acts like a gravity sensors. Starch statoliths are the main components which are found in root tips at cells. They are very much close to the vascular bundles in shoots. Statoliths pressurize on the membrane systems which are located inside the cell eg endoplasmic reticulum which results in differential growth.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

La membrana plasmática, también llamada membrana celular, se encuentra en todas las células y separa el interior de la célula del ambiente exterior. En bacterias y en células de plantas, hay también una pared celular que se une a la membrana plasmática en la superficie exterior. La membrana plasmática se compone de una bicapa lipidia que es semipermeable. La membrana plasmática regula el transporte de materiales que entran y salen de la célula.
