Choroplasts, Leucoplasts, Amyloplasts, Aleuroplasts, and Elaioplasts are five types of plastids found in plant cells. Let's analyze each pair and identify the correct option given.
I. Choromoplasts - Contains pigments other than chlorophyll
Chloroplasts are responsible for the green color in plants and contain chlorophyll. However, chloroplasts also contain other pigments such as carotenoids and xanthophylls, which give plants their red, orange, and yellow colors. Therefore, the given statement is correct.
II. Leucoplasts - Devoid of any pigments
Leucoplasts are colorless plastids that do not contain any pigments. They are involved in the synthesis and storage of starch, lipids, and proteins. Therefore, the given statement is correct.
III. Amyloplasts - Store proteins
Amyloplasts are a type of leucoplasts that specifically store starch. They are not involved in storing proteins. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.
IV. Aleuroplasts - Store oils and fats
Aleuroplasts are a type of leucoplasts that specifically store proteins. They are not involved in storing oils and fats. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.
V. Elaioplasts - Store carbohydrates
Elaioplasts are a type of leucoplasts that specifically store oils and fats. They are not involved in storing carbohydrates. Therefore, the given statement is incorrect.
Based on the analysis, option D, which states that I and II are correct, is the correct option given.
Analyze the following pairs and identify the correct option given.I. C...
D is not correct option
the correct answer is option A and B also coz chromoplast
contains chlorophyll pigment and leucoplasts devoid pigment so both A and B are correct option..
Elaioplast can't store carbohydrates.. it stores fatty acids, and some other lipids
