Question
All types of plastids possess essentially the same etructure because they
Options
A.perform the same function
B.store food materials like starch, fat and protein
C.occur in aerial parts
D.can transform from one form to another
Solution
Plastids, the largest cytoplasmic organelle, develop from colourless precursors called peoplastids. Plstids are of three main types (leucoplasts, chromoplasts and chloroplasts) varying in shape, size colour and function.Chromoplasts develop from proplastids, leucoplasts and chloroplasts. Chloroplasrs can arise from ore-existing chloroplasts, proplastids and leuco plasts, while lwucoplasts are formed from proplastids and leucoplasts.
