alleryIn a leaf cell, the GREEN COLOUR comes from organelles called:
AMitochondria
BVacuoles
CRibosomes
DChloroplasts (contain the pigment chlorophyll)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Chloroplasts (contain the pigment chlorophyll)
Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight (mainly red and blue wavelengths) and reflects green — giving leaves their green appearance.
Inside chloroplasts, sunlight's energy is captured for photosynthesis.
Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
