The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Plastids are not found in," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of plastids and the organisms mentioned. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Plastids**: - Plastids are double membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. - They are primarily involved in photosynthesis (e.g., chloroplasts contain chlorophyll). 2. **Identifying Eukaryotes vs. Prokaryotes**: - Eukaryotes are organisms with complex cells that contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g., plants, animals, fungi). - Prokaryotes are simpler organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles (e.g., bacteria, archaea). 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Fungi**: - Fungi are eukaryotic organisms. However, they are heterotrophic and do not perform photosynthesis, so they do not have plastids. - **Option B: Bacteria**: - Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. Since plastids are characteristic of eukaryotes, they are not found in bacteria. - **Option C: Blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria)**: - Despite the name "algae," blue-green algae are actually prokaryotic (cyanobacteria). They can perform photosynthesis but do not have plastids since they are prokaryotes. - **Option D: All of these**: - Since plastids are not found in fungi (eukaryotic), bacteria (prokaryotic), and blue-green algae (prokaryotic), this option is correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - Plastids are not found in fungi, bacteria, or blue-green algae. Therefore, the correct answer is **D: All of these**. ### Final Answer: Plastids are not found in **D: All of these**.
