Question

name the plastid and pigment likely to be found in ripe tomato

Answer 1

red colour of the tomato due to the LYCOPENE pigment in CHROMOPLAST.

Answer 2

Thanks for the question!

The colour in ripe tomato is due to the presence of pigments found in the plastids. The plastids themselves do not impart the characteristic red colour. This pigment is found in the chromoplast.

Similarly, Brinjal is purple in colour due to the presence of anthocyanin pigment in the chromoplast.

Hope it helps!
