Question

In C₃ plants the enzyme involved for formations of Glyceric acid –3- phosphate (PGA) is:

A Acetyl Co-A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Reductase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

RuBisCO is a key enzyme in the Calvin cycle, which is the main pathway of carbon fixation during photosynthesis in C₃ plants. It catalyzes the reaction between ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) to form two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA).
