Which of the following types of plastid does not contain stored food material?
- A Chromoplasts
- B Elaioplasts
- C Aleuroplasts
- D Amyloplasts
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Chromoplasts
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) : Chromoplasts are yellow or reddish in colour because of the presence of carotenoid pigments. They do not contain stored food material. Chromoplasts are formed either from leucoplasts or chloroplasts. Chromoplasts provide colour to many flowers for attracting pollinating insects. They provide bright red or orange colour to fruits for attracting animals for dispersal.
