Plastids :

• These organelles are not present in animal cells.

Chloroplasts (a type of plastid) contain the green

pigment chlorophyll and are responsible for

photosynthesis. Only green parts of plants have

chloroplasts.

• There are two other types of plastids called

chromoplasts and leucoplasts. Chromoplasts

contain pigments which give fruits and flowers

their colours. Leucoplasts store food and are

found in the storage organs of plants.
