Question

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

Explanation:

Carbon fixation occurs in the Calvin cycle. In the first stage (carbon fixation), \(CO_2\) combines with RuBP (ribulose - 1,5 - bisphosphate) to form an unstable 6 - carbon compound that immediately splits into two 3 - carbon compounds called 3 - phosphoglycerate (PGA). G3P is produced later in the reduction stage, RuBP is the initial acceptor, and glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) is the end - product of multiple cycles. So the compound produced during carbon fixation is PGA.

Answer:

A. PGA
