differentiate between chromoplast and chloroplast in points
Answers
Explanation:
Chloroplast: Contains chlorophyll pigment and carotenoids and performs photosynthesis
Chromoplast: Contains carotene and xanthophylls. They impart a specific colour to flowers and fruits and help in pollination and dispersal of seeds
HEYA, BUDDY !!
The basic differences between chromoplasts and chloroplasts are as follows:
★ Chromoplasts are plastids other than green in colour while chloroplasts are green-coloured plastids. This is because chromoplasts lack chlorophyll but chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and other carotenoids.
★ Chromoplasts are usually not involved in photosynthesis but they play an important role in pollination by providing distinct colour to plant parts. Chlorophyll, on the other hand, performs photosynthesis.
★ Chromoplasts contain lamellar systems and only remnants of thylakoids and chloroplasts contain lamellar systems, ribosomes and thylakoids.
★ As We know that, The term plastid was introduced by E. Haeckel in 1866. Chloroplast, chromoplast, and leucoplast are types of plastids that are classified based on their pigments.
