Which of the following impart a red colour to Rose petals?

Correct answer: C. Chromoplast

  • A. Chloroplast
  • B. Chlorophyll
  • C. Chromoplast
  • D. Leucoplast

Explanation

Chromoplasts contain pigments such as carotenoids and can give flowers red, yellow or orange colours. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and give green colour, while leucoplasts are generally colourless. Students most likely choose chlorophyll because it is a well-known plant pigment, but chlorophyll produces green rather than red colour.
