  1. A
    Chloroplast, vacuole, peroxisome
  2. B
    Chloroplast, Golgi bodies, mitochondria
  3. C
    Chloroplast, Rough Endoplasmic reticulum, Dictyosomes
  4. D
    Chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondria

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Photorespiration (the cycle) involves a specific sequence of biochemical reactions that occur across three cell organelles in plants. The sequence is:Chloroplast: Synthesis of phosphoglycolate.Peroxisome: Conversion of glycolate to glycine.Mitochondria: Conversion of glycine to serine with the release of .
