Q. Pigment absent in chromoplast
Solution:
Chromoplast is a type of plastid and in chromoplasts, fat-soluble carotenoid pigments like carotenes, xanthophylls and others are present. This gives yellow, red or orange colour to various parts of the plant. Chromoplast occurs mainly in pericarp and petals of plant.
The red colour of tomatoes is due to the red pigment 'Lycopene' of chromoplasts.
Chromoplasts occur in petals, but the colour in petals is mainly due to water-soluble pigments which are found in cell sap known as Anthocyanin.
