Which organelle is marked with an X?

The chloroplast is green and has small stacks inside of it. From the picture, the organelle labelled fits that description. Also, none of the other option choices fit. The vacuole is the big blue organelle, the nucleus is the purple thing, and the lysosome is the small yellow organelle scattered about.

The organelle that is marked with an X is the option chloroplast. So the correct option is C.

What are chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are cellular organelles which are present in plant cells only. Chloplasts is a doubled membrane organelle which contains a matrix inside of itself called the stroma.

Inside the chloprasts, stacks of thylakoids are present called the grana. Inside the grana, a green pigment is present. This is called the chlorophyll.

The chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in plants. Chlorophyll is able to trap sunlight, whose energy is used for splitting water molecule and formation of glucose.

Therefore, chloprasts are only present in plant cells. Chloroplasts are one of three types of plastids present in plants. The other types of plastid are chromoplast and leucoplast. Chromoplast are present in fruits and contain caretenoid pigments. Leucoplast is non-pigmented and is present in non photosynthetic plant regions.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
