Question
in the light - independent reactions of photosynthesis, co₂ is added to a five - carbon molecule known as
multiple choice
cam.
rubp.
cellulose.
ribose.
deoxyribose.
Brief Explanations
In the Calvin - cycle (light - independent reactions of photosynthesis), carbon dioxide is fixed to a five - carbon molecule called ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). This is the first step of carbon fixation in photosynthesis. CAM is a type of photosynthetic pathway, cellulose is a structural polysaccharide, ribose and deoxyribose are sugars involved in nucleic acids.
