Pyrenoids are mainly related to the protein storage inside chloroplast.
Option - B
Explanation:
- Pyrenoids are the globular structure that are found in the green algae and hornworts.
- The structure of pyrenoids are usually enveloped by layer of starch or glycogen.
- Inside the pyrenoid, high concentration of enzyme RuBisCO is found. This enzyme plays the main role in the carbon fixation of photosynthesis.
- It is also associated with the CCM or the carbon concentrating mechanism of the green algae.
- Pyrenoids in hornworts do have a different structure where the percentage of starch is much more.
- There pyrenoids do act as a starch storing organelle inside chloroplasts.
