Answer 2

Plastids are large cytoplasmic organelles. Plastids are major organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are the site of manufacture and storage of important chemical compounds used by the cell. Plastids often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine the cell's colour. The term plastid was derived from the Greek word plastikas meaning formed or moulded. This term was coined by Schimper in 1885.

In plants, plastids may differentiate into several forms, depending upon which function they need to play in the cell. The plastids are broadly classified into two main types namely chromoplasts and leucoplasts.
