Vedclass · Answer

(D) Plastids are organelles found in plant cells and algae. They are classified into three types based on the type of pigments they contain: chloroplasts,chromoplasts,and leucoplasts.All these plastids originate from proplastids and possess the ability to multiply by a fission-like process.Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments which are responsible for trapping light energy essential for photosynthesis.Chromoplasts contain fat-soluble carotenoid pigments like carotene,xanthophylls,and others,which give plants their yellow,orange,or red color.Leucoplasts are the colourless plastids of varied shapes and sizes with stored nutrients: amyloplasts store carbohydrates (starch),elaioplasts store oils and fats,and aleuroplasts store proteins.Therefore,the common feature among all these plastids is their origin from proplastids and their ability to divide by fission.
