Glucose synthesis occurs during which stage of `C_(3)` cycle?

Options

A. Carboxylation
B. Oxygenation
C. Reduction
D. regeneration.

Answer

C

Explanation

During reduction stage of `C_(3)` cycle, as series of rections lead to the formation of glucose. The steps involve utilisation of two molecules of ATP for phosphorylation and tow of NADPH for reduction per `CO_(2)` molecule fixed. The fixation of six molecules of `CO_(2)` and 6 turns of the cycle are required for the removal of one molecule of glucose from the pathway.
