Plant pigments responsible for red, yellow, and orange colors in many fruits and vegetables are:
Correct answer: C. Carotenoids
- A. Chlorophyll a
- B. Chlorophyll b
- C. Carotenoids
- D. Cellulose
Explanation
The correct answer is Carotenoids. These pigments impart red, yellow, and orange hues to many fruits and vegetables. They play a significant role in plant health and offer antioxidant benefits to humans. Chlorophyll a and b are primarily green pigments associated with photosynthesis, not with the vibrant colors in question. Cellulose, while important for structural integrity in plants, does not contribute to coloration.
