Question

Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given below.

Column I	Column II
A. Chloroplasts	(i) Colourless plastids
B. Chromoplasts	(ii) Yellow, orange or red coloured plastids
C. Leucoplasts	(iii) Green plastids

• A. $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(i\right),C-\left(ii\right)$
• B. $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(ii\right),C-\left(i\right)$
• C. $A-\left(i\right),B-\left(iii\right),C-\left(ii\right)$
• D. $A-\left(i\right),B-\left(ii\right),C-\left(iii\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $A-\left(iii\right),B-\left(ii\right),C-\left(i\right)$

Plastids are organelles involved in the synthesis and storage of food. They are found in photosynthetic cells of eukaryotes. They can be present in different forms :

• Chloroplasts are the green colored plastids which play an important role in photosynthesis.
• Chromoplasts are colored due to the pigments that are produced and stored inside them. They are generally of yellow, red or orange color.
• Leucoplasts are the colorless plastids.
• So, the correct answer is 'A - (iii), B -(ii), C -(i)'.
