Question

When 54 molecules of \(CO_2\) are fixed by RuBisCo in a \(C_3\) plant, number of G3-P exported to cytosol and number of G3-P participating in regeneration respectively are:

• A. 90 and 18
• B. 54 and 54
• C. 60 and 48
• D. 18 and 90

Hint:

For every 3 \(CO_2\), one G3P exits Calvin cycle while five regenerate RuBP.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
