Answer:

A. Chromatophores are found in members of phototrophic bacteria. They contain bacteriochlorophyll pigments and carotenoids and take part in photosynthesis. In purple bacteria, such as Rhodospirillum rubrum, the light-harvesting proteins are intrinsic to the chromatophore membranes.

Chromatophores

Explanation:

  • Chromatophores are organs that are present in the skin of many cephalopods.
  • They contain pigment sacs that become visible as small radial muscles pull the sac open making the pigment expand under the skin.
  • The primary function of the chromatophores is camouflage.
  • It has contractile fibres that can expand the cell, gradually increasing the pigment across the surface.
  • They are largely responsible for generating skin and eye color in cold-blooded animals.
