Pathway Components Functions A. RuBP 1. The molecule that accepts CO2 to begin the Calvin cycle. B. 3-PGA 2. A stable organic intermediate produced from the carboxylation of RuBP. C. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) 3.Energy carriers used in the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle. D. ATP and NADPH 4. The product formed after the reduction of 3-PGA.
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
- BA - 2, B - 3, C - 4, D - 1
- CA - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3
- DA - 3, B - 4, C - 1, D - 2
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3
Step-by-step solution
A - 1: RuBP is the molecule that accepts CO2 at the start of the Calvin cycle. B - 2: 3-PGA is the stable organic intermediate produced from the carboxylation of RuBP. C - 4: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is the product formed after the reduction of 3-PGA. D - 3: ATP and NADPH are energy carriers used in the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle.
