Question

From the following, an organelle containing chlorophyll is

• A. Chloroplast
• B. Endoplasmic reticulum
• C. Nucleus
• D. Mitochondria

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chloroplast

A. Chloroplasts are greenish plastids which possess photosynthetic pigments, chlorophylls and carotenoids and take part in the synthesis of food. Chlorophylls contain specialised light-absorbing green pigments, therefore help in photosynthesis.

B. Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of reticulum of tiny structures scattered in cytoplasm and composed of three structures- cisternae, tubules and vesicles.

C. Nucleus is a large organelle controlling all the activities of the eukaryotic cells and consists of nuclear envelope, nucleoplasm, nucleolus and chromatin.

D. Mitochondria are cylindrical double membrane organelles and composed of outer, inner membrane, crista and matrix.

So, the correct answer is 'Chloroplast'.
