The type of plastids found in roots of plants are _.
Correct answer: C. Leucoplasts
- A. Chloroplasts
- B. Chromoplasts
- C. Leucoplasts
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
Plastids are of three types: 1. "Leucoplasts" --- In Roots ----colourless. Leucoplasts are a group of plastids that include many differentiated colourless organelles with very different functions (e.g., the amyloplasts), which act as a store for starch in non-green tissues such as roots, tubers, or seeds 2. "Chloroplasts" --- Present in leaves of plant --- Green in colour. 3. "Chromoplasts" -- present in flowers and fruits -- coloured plastids [except green].

About Animal and Plant Cell
Animal and plant cells share a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, but plant cells also have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole. Questions cover organelle structure and function, differences between the two cell types, and how membranes control movement of substances.
