Option 1 : Plastids
Explanation:
- Plastids are double-membrane organelles that are found in the cells of plants and algae.
- Chloroplast is a type of plastid where food is prepared.
- They contain pigments like chlorophyll that are used during photosynthesis.
- They can also store food that is made by photosynthesis.
Mistake Points
- Plastids are mainly of 3 types:
- Chloroplast - coloured plastid that helps in photosynthesis; responsible for green colour of leaves.
- Chromoplast - coloured plastid that helps in pigment synthesis and storage, responsible for colour of flowers and fruits.
- Leucoplast - non-pigmented plastid that is used for storage.
- Photosynthesis is the process by which cells utilize solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose which is used as fuel by the cells.
- The pigment chlorophyll is responsible for initiating the process of photosynthesis as it captures the light energy from the sun.
- Mitochondria - is called the powerhouse of the cell as it releases energy from food.
- Golgi apparatus - works like a factory for the modification, packaging and transport of proteins to target destinations.
