Answer 2

Answer:

Hi dear!!!!☺️☺️

● Plastids are the cytoplasmic organelles found only in plant cells. On the basis of pigments present, plastids are of three types:

(i) Leucoplasts (colourless plastids)

(ii) Chloroplasts (green coloured plastids)

(iii) Chromoplasts (coloured plastids other than green).

◆ Leucoplasts are for storage of starch grain and oil drops. Such colourless plastids are present in underground roots, stems.

◆ Chloroplasts are mainly for photosynthesis. They are present in leaves.

◆ Chromoplasts are responsible for the characteristic colour of flower and fruit. They are involved in attracting insects, various vectors for pollination and for fruit dispersal.
