Question

Select the correct matching: Column I Column II (Type of leucoplast) (Stored food) A. Amyloplast 1\. Oil and fat B. Elaioplast 2\. Protein C. Aleuroplasts 3\. Carbohydrate (a) \(\mathrm{A}-3, \mathrm{~B}-1, \mathrm{C}-2\) (b) \(\mathrm{A}-1, \mathrm{~B}-2, \mathrm{C}-3\) (c) A-3, B-2, C-1 (d) \(\mathrm{A}-2, \mathrm{~B}-3, \mathrm{C}-1\)

Short answer

(a) A-3, B-1, C-2 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the function of Amyloplasts

Amyloplasts are a type of leucoplast involved in the storage of starches. Starches are a form of carbohydrate. Therefore, match A with 3.

Identify the function of Elaioplasts

Elaioplasts are a type of leucoplast involved in the storage of fats and oils. Therefore, match B with 1.

Identify the function of Aleuroplasts

Aleuroplasts are a type of leucoplast involved in the storage of proteins. Therefore, match C with 2.
