Answer 2

Answer:

A chloroplast is the plastid involved in the conversion of a "green tomato to red".

Explanation:

• The chlorophyll-containing green pigmented plastid chloroplast changes into chromoplast upon maturation of the tomato when harvest period nears and changes in temperature takes place according to the season.
• The green color of the chloroplast loses due to the "formation of chromoplast" that is mainly constituted by lycopene, the red-colored pigment.
• The lycopene gets settled in the lumina of the membranous sac of the tomato in the crystalline form and which changes the color of the tomato from green to red.
