Select the incorrect pair.

Options

A. 2-carbon compound-Aspartic acid
B. 3-carbon compound-PGA
C. 4-carbon compound-Malic acid
D. 5-carbon compound-RuBP

Answer

A

Explanation

Both malic acid and asparic acid are 4-carbon compounds formed in the mesophyll cells during `C_(4)` cycle. PGA (3-phosphoglyceric acid) is a 3-carbon compound, which is the first stable product of Calvin cycle (`C_(3)`cycle). RuBP (Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate) is a 5-carbon compound, which is the primary acceptor of `CO_(2)` during `C_(3)` cycle.
