The correct sequence of cell organelles during photorespiration is
A
Chloroplast, vacuole, peroxisome
B
Chloroplast, Golgi bodies, mitochondria
C
Chloroplast, rough endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes
D
Chloroplast, mitochondria, peroxisome
Detailed Solution
Photorespiration begins in the chloroplast, where RuBisCO binds $O_2$ and forms phosphoglycolate.
Glycolate is then metabolised in the peroxisome, and glycine is converted to serine in the mitochondria.
So the three organelles involved are the chloroplast, peroxisome and mitochondria; the only option listing these three is the answer.
