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 two molecules of 3 - phosphoglyceric acid (PGA). G3P is formed later in the Calvin cycle through reduction of PGA. RuBP is the starting molecule for carbon fixation, not the product. \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) (glucose) is a final product of photosynthesis, not directly produced during carbon fixation.

Answer:

PGA
