Which of these is wrongly matched?
Chloroplasts Chlorophyll
Elaioplasts Starch
Chromoplasts Carotenoids
Amyloplasts Carbohydrates
Correct Answer :
B. Elaioplasts Starch
Elaioplasts are colourless plastids which store lipids. Chromoplasts are yellow or reddish in colour because of the presence of carotenoid pigments. Chloroplasts are the most common type of plastids and are of prime biological importance as they contain chlorophyll and provide food to all organisms through photosynthesis.

9.A student was given cell samples (A and B) to identify parts which are highlighted. He observed the samples under the microscope and list down the function of the part of cell sample. The information collected by the student is listed in the table below, on the basis of which the student infers that the samples contain the organelles.
| Sample A | Sample B |
|---|---|
| Make energy available for cellular metabolism | Generates ATP and synthes izes s ugar |
| Absent in cell that carry oxygen throughout the body | Present in plant cell |
| Called the energy currency of cell | Source o f all the food energy |
