Are chroMoplasts and leucoplasts double membraned?

Please find below the solution to the asked query

Chromoplast and leucoplast are the two types of plastids. They are both covered by double membrane. Chromoplasts synthesise and store pigments other than chlorophyll while the leucoplasts store food like fats, proteins and starch etc.
 
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the chromoplast and leucoplast​.

No,

In particular, their three membranes divide chloroplasts into three distinct internal compartments: (1) the intermembrane space between the two membranes of the chloroplast envelope; (2) the stroma, which lies inside the envelope but outside the thylakoid membrane; and (3) the thylakoid lumen.

Leucoplasts are organelles, cell structures surrounded by membranes, in plant cells that store starch, lipids or proteins, or have biosynthetic functions creating a variety of organic compounds. They are a type of plant organelle known as a plastid, a category that includes chloroplasts.
