Correct Answer
chloroplasts
Explanation
Chloroplasts are the specific chromoplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll. They are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells. In addition to chlorophyll, chloroplasts contain carotenoids (yellow and orange accessory pigments). Their internal structure includes grana (stacks of thylakoids) embedded in a protein-rich stroma.
