Plastid is classified into 3 types:

  • Chloroplast - contains chlorophyll and responsible for Photosynthesis.
  • Chromoplast - contains carotenoid pigment and give orange or red color to plant.
  • Leucoplast - colourless plastid contains stored nutrients.

How plastids are classified based on the type of pigments?

  • Based on the type of pigments plastids can be classified into chloroplasts, chromoplasts and leucoplasts.
  • The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments which are responsible for trapping light energy essential for photosynthesis.

What are plastids how are they classified on the basis of the type of pigments Name them and their pigments and mention their functions?

  • Plastids are double-membrane organelle which are found in the cells of plants and algae.
  • Plastids are responsible for manufacturing and storing of food.
  • These often contain pigments that are used in photosynthesis and different types of pigments that can change the colour of the cell.

What are the pigments of plastids?

  • A plastid containing green pigment (chlorophyll) is called chloroplast whereas a plastid containing pigments apart from green is called a chromoplast.
  • A plastid that lacks pigments is called a leucoplast and is involved mainly in food storage.

What are the 3 types of plastids?

Types of Plastids:

  • Chloroplasts.
  • Chromoplasts.
  • Gerontoplasts.
  • Leucoplasts.

Hence, Plastids are divided into three types based on the pigments they contain chloroplasts, chromoplasts, and leucoplasts. Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments are found in chloroplasts, and they are important for capturing light energy required for photosynthesis.
