"Function" and "Structure and classification" sections in Chromoplasts
How easy would the "Function" section be for someone who is not a biology major? In short, anyone who has taken a high school biology course could easily understand this section. It begins with the basic breakdown of where chromoplasts are found and their basic functions of forming pigment in ripening fruit and dying leaves. It eventually expands on the funtions of the organelle, such as how it replaces chloroplasts as leaves die. The section's explanation of how the organelle produces different pigments is also clearly explained in a simple, organized manner. Each basic pigment was broken into their respective paragraph and described clearly and in an unbiased manner, including how most plastids are grouped with chromoplasts.

Does the organization of the "Structure and classification" section make sense? The section is easy to understand as it begins with how a light microscope shows the four basic types of chromoplasts. Then it describes how electron microscopes can divide the organelle types into five categories and how different types can coexist. It then concludes with how some chromoplasts can have different characteristics that fit with different types. The section starts with the broad topic at hand and breaks it down, as it should.
