The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about colorless (non-pigmented) plastids, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Plastids**: Plastids are organelles found in plant cells that are involved in the synthesis and storage of food. They can be classified based on their color and function. 2. **Identifying Types of Plastids**: - **Leucoplasts**: These are colorless plastids that do not contain pigments. Their primary function is to store food substances such as starch, oils, and proteins. - **Chloroplasts**: These plastids contain green pigments (chlorophyll) and are involved in photosynthesis, giving plants their green color. - **Chromoplasts**: These are colored plastids that contain pigments other than chlorophyll, contributing to the color of fruits and flowers. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question specifically asks for colorless (non-pigmented) plastids. - Among the options, **leucoplasts** are identified as the only type that is colorless and non-pigmented. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **leucoplast**. ### Final Answer: The colorless (non-pigmented) plastids are **leucoplasts**. ---
