NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
In which type of plants does the Calvin pathway operate?
Options
- AOnly in C3 plants
- BOnly in C4 plants
- COnly in CAM plants
- DIn all photosynthetic plants
Correct answer
D. In all photosynthetic plants
Step-by-step solution
Calvin and his co-workers then worked out the whole pathway and showed that the pathway operated in a cyclic manner; the RuBP was regenerated. Let us now see how the Calvin pathway operates and where the sugar is synthesised. Let us at the outset understand very clearly that the Calvin pathway occurs in all photosynthetic plants; it does not matter whether they have C3 or C4 (or any other) pathways.
