Question

which compound is produced during carbon fixation?
pga
g3p
rubp
c₆h₁₂o₆

Explanation:

Carbon fixation is the first step of the Calvin cycle. In this process, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) combines with ribulose - 1,5 - bisphosphate (RuBP) to form an unstable six - carbon compound, which quickly splits into two molecules of 3 - phosphoglycerate (PGA). G3P is produced later in the Calvin cycle (reduction phase). RuBP is consumed in carbon fixation and then regenerated. \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) is the end - product of photosynthesis but not directly produced in carbon fixation.

Answer:

PGA
