Q. Analyse the following pairs and identify the correct option given. I. Chromoplasts – Contain pigments other than chlorophyll II. Leucoplasts – Devoid of any pigments III. Amyloplasts – Store proteins IV. Aleuroplasts – Store oils and fats V. Elaioplasts – Store carbohydrates
A) II and III are correct
B) III and IV are correct
C) IV and V are correct
D) I and II are correct
Explanation
Plastids are mainly of two types: (i) Coloured (including chromoplasts containing pigments other than chlorophyll and chloroplast containing green pigment chlorophyll).
