Question

Change of colour from green to redish during ripening of tomato is due to the transformation of ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

As the tomato ripens, its colour starts to change from green to yellow and then eventually to red. This is due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, which in turn synthesises a red carotenoid (another pigment group), lycopene. When ripe, the carotenoid can easily be seen as the dominant colour of the tomato, ie red.
