A)peroxisomes, lysosomes, mitochondria
B)chloroplasts, mitochondria, lysosomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chloroplasts produce sugars through photosynthesis, which are used as substrates in mitochondria for cellular respiration. Peroxisomes are involved in various metabolic pathways and work in conjunction with both chloroplasts and mitochondria in producing and breaking down molecules. Therefore, the closely associated organelles in leaf cells are chloroplasts, mitochondria, and peroxisomes.
