Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromoplasts are specialized organelles found in plants that are responsible for the synthesis, accumulation, and storage of pigments such as carotenoids and anthocyanins. Mitochondria are primarily involved in cellular respiration, while chloroplasts mainly synthesize chlorophylls. Central vacuoles and vesicles are involved in storage and transportation of various molecules and structures within the cell, but are not specific to pigment synthesis and storage.
