The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Plastids**: Plastids are specialized organelles found in cells. They are primarily associated with photosynthesis and storage functions in plants and some other organisms. 2. **Types of Plastids**: There are three main types of plastids: - **Chloroplasts**: These are involved in photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll. - **Chromoplasts**: These are responsible for pigment synthesis and storage, contributing to the color of fruits and flowers. - **Leucoplasts**: These are involved in the storage of starches, oils, and proteins. 3. **Identifying the Organisms**: - **Plant Cells**: Plastids are present in all plant cells as they are essential for photosynthesis and other functions. - **Euglenoids**: These are eukaryotic organisms that can perform photosynthesis and contain plastids, specifically chloroplasts. - **Animal Cells**: Plastids are absent in animal cells as they do not perform photosynthesis. - **Bacterial Cells**: Bacteria do not have plastids as they lack membrane-bound organelles. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: All plant cells and euglenoids - This is correct since both contain plastids. - **Option 2**: All animal cells and euglenoids - This is incorrect as animal cells do not have plastids. - **Option 3**: All bacterial cells and all plant cells - This is incorrect as bacteria do not have plastids. - **Option 4**: All plant cells and bacterial cells - This is incorrect as bacteria do not have plastids. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option 1: All plant cells and euglenoids**. ---
