Answer 2

Explanation:

There are mainly 4 types of plastids. They are:-

1. Chloroplasts

2. Chromoplasts

3. Gerontoplasts

4. Leucoplasts

The function of chloroplast is :-

=> They are the sites for synthesizing food by the process of photosynthesis.

The function of chromoplast is :-

=> They have carotenoid pigments that allow different colours that you see in leaves and fruits. The main reason for its different colour is for attracting pollinators.

The function of gerontoplast is :-

=> They helps in reducing ageing in plants and leaves.

The function of leucoplast is :-

=> They are the non pigmented organelles which is colourless. They are found in non- photosynthetic parts of the plants like roots. They act as a storage sheds for starches , lipid and proteins depending on the need of plants . They are mostly used for converting amino acids into fatty acids.
