What is a function of chromoplasts?
Chromoplasts are plastids responsible for pigment synthesis and storage. They, like all other plastids (including chloroplasts and leucoplasts), are organelles found in specific photosynthetic eukaryotic species. Chromoplasts, in the traditional sense, are found in coloured organs of plants such as fruit and floral petals, to which they give their distinctive colors. This is always associated with a massive increase in the accumulation of carotenoid pigments. The conversion of chloroplasts to chromoplasts in ripening tomato fruit is a classic example.
How do you distinguish the anthocyanin pigments and chromoplasts?

What are facts about chromoplast?
Chromoplasts are a type of heterogeneous organelles that are responsible for pigment synthesis and storage. Chromoplasts are responsible for the distinctive colors in fruits, flowers, roots, and aging leaves. Chromoplasts are descendants of photosynthetic prokaryotes known as cyanobacteria.
