Analyze 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
Options
- AII and III are correct
- BIII and IV are correct
- CIV and V are correct
- DI and II are correct
Correct answer
D. I and II are correct
Step-by-step solution
Plastids are mainly of two types: (i) Coloured (including chromoplasts containing pigments other than chlorophyll and chloroplast containing green pigment chlorophyll). (ii) Leucoplasts, which store reserve food material, these are devoid of any pigment and may be carbohydrate storing amyloplast, lipid storing elaioplast or protein storing proteinoplast (aleuroplast).
