Which one of the following type of plastids does not contain stored food material?

Options

(a) Amyloplasts
(b) Chromoplasts
(c) Elaioplasts
(d) Aleuroplasts

Correct Answer:

Chromoplasts

Explanation:

Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic coloured plastides which synthesise and stored carotenoid pigmentes. They, therefore, appear orange red and yellow where as amyloplast (store starch), aleuroplast (store proteins) and elaioplast (store oil droplets and fats) are leucoplasts, colourless plastids.
