Vedclass · Answer

(B) Plastids are classified based on the type of pigments they contain: $1$. $Chloroplasts$: Contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments which are responsible for trapping light energy for photosynthesis. $2$. $Chromoplasts$: Contain fat-soluble carotenoid pigments like carotene,xanthophylls,and others. These provide yellow,orange,or red colors to various plant parts. $3$. $Leucoplasts$: These are colorless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients. $Elaioplasts$ are a type of leucoplast that store oils and fats. Therefore,$Chromoplasts$ are the plastids that contain pigments other than chlorophyll.
