Solution

The correct option is C Glycine, glycerate
A) Glycolate is a 2 carbon molecule formed in the chloroplast while glycine is a 2 carbon molecule formed in the peroxisome.
B) Serine is a 3 carbon molecule while glycine is a 2 carbon molecule formed in the peroxisome.
C) Glycine is a 2 carbon molecule and glycerate is a 3 carbon molecule formed in the peroxisome.
D) Glycolate and phosphoglycolate are both 2 carbon molecules formed in the chloroplast.
So the correct answer is 'Glycine, glycerate'.
