Question

Following are the properties of plastids EXCEPT

• A. They are found only in plants.
• B. They give shape to the cell.
• C. They contain chlorophyll.
• D. They have double layered membrane.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

They give shape to the cell.

Plastids are organelles found only in plants. They have a double membrane covering. Chloroplast is a plastid which contains the green pigment - chlorophyll. Chloroplasts impart the characteristic green colour to the leaves.

The shape of a plant cell is primarly defined by the cell wall and not by plastids.
