Carotenoids are organic pigment s that are found in the chloroplast s and
chromoplast s of plants and some other photosynthetic organism
Kaynak: Carotenoidtheir function differs from the leucoplasts of plants. Etioplast s, amyloplast s and
chromoplast s are plant-specific and do not occur in algae.

chromoplast s.
Kaynak: StromuleOther types of plastids are the amyloplast s, specialized for starch storage, elaioplast s specialized for fat storage, and
chromoplastKaynak: Plant cellThe cytoplasm does not contain differentiated plastid s (chloroplast s or
chromoplast s), although they are present in rudimentary form
