No, the animal counterpart to the Plant Cell chloroplast is the Mitochondria.
photosynthesis The coloration in petals is due the presence of chromoplasts in the cells of the petals. In different flowers chromoplasts differ in the nature of their coloration. Therefore, different colors are seen in the petals of different flowers.
chromoplasts have red and orange carotenoid pigments, that anthocyanins do not have.
Difference between leucoplasts and chromoplasts?Leucoplast is where the energy is stored and chromoplast is where the photosynthesis occurs that has rhodophyll, carotene, and xanthphyll. Chromoplasts contain the red, orange, and yellow color.
Yes they have chloroplasts. They are used for photosynthsis
Animal
Leucoplasts are colorless organelles in the cells of plants, usually found in roots. Chromoplasts are organelles in plant cells responsible for storing and synthesizing pigment.
Plastid
In light dependent reactions.
flowers
Chromoplasts in the traditional sense are found in coloured organs of plants such as fruit and floral petals, to which they give their distinctive colors. This is always associated with a massive increase in the accumulation of carotenoid pigments. The conversion of chloroplasts to chromoplasts in ripening tomato fruit is a classic example.

Chromoplasts are plastids responsible for pigment synthesis and storage. They, like all other plastids (including chloroplasts and leucoplasts), are organelles found in specific photosynthetic eukaryotic species.

Among many functions of the chromoplasts,ripening the fruits which help in preperation of seeds.
