Which of the following types of plastid does not contain stored food material?
Correct answer: A. Chromoplast
- A. Chromoplast
- B. Elaioplasts
- C. Aleuroplasts
- D. Amyloplasts
Explanation
Chromoplasts are yellow or reddish in color because of the presence of carotenoid pigments. They do not contain stored food material. Chromoplasts are formed either from leucoplasts or chloroplasts. Chromoplasts provide color to many flowers for attracting pollinating insects. They provide bright red or orange colors to fruits for attracting animals for dispersal.
