The First Stable Compound Produced from CO₂ in the Light-Independent

Question

The first stable compound produced from CO2in the light-independent reaction is ____. A) phosphoglycerate (PGA) B) ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) C) phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) D) O2 E) NADP⁺

Accepted Answer

The first stable compound produced in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis is phosphoglycerate (PGA). This occurs after carbon dioxide is fixed onto ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme RuBisCO.
