Explanation:

• A: Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical energy (glucose).
• B: Cell wall (rigid outer layer), vacuole (stores water which exerts turgor pressure), and cytoskeleton (internal network of fibers) help in maintaining plant cell shape.
• C: Plastids (e.g., chromoplasts store pigments, leucoplasts store food like starch).
• D: Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, performing cellular respiration to convert food (glucose) into ATP (energy).

Answer:

A. Chloroplasts
B. Cell wall, Vacuole, Cytoskeleton
C. Plastids
D. Mitochondria
