Chromoplasts are a type of heterogeneous organelles that are responsible for pigment synthesis and storage. Chromoplasts are responsible for the distinctive colors in fruits, flowers, roots, and aging leaves. Chromoplasts are descendants of photosynthetic prokaryotes known as cyanobacteria.

What is the difference between chromoplast and leucoplast?

Difference between chloroplast and chromoplast : Chloroplast; 1) Chloroplast are green plastids. 2) They contains chlorophyll and carotenoids. 3) Lamellae are present in them. 4) They are sites of photosynthesis. Chromoplast: 1) Chromoplasts are non-green coloured plastids. 2) Chlorophylls are absent only carotenoids are present. 3) Lemallae are absent in them. 4) They add colour to the organs( e.g., flowers, fruits) for attracting animals to perform pollination and fruit dispersal.
