When `CO_(2)` is added to PEP. The first stabel product synthesised is

A

pyruvate

B

glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

C

phosphoglycerate

D

oxaloacetate

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Oxaloacetate is a four carbond compound formed is `C_(4)` cycle and is a first stable product, that is why such plants are called `C_(4)` plants.
Rest of the option are incorrect as because
(a) Pyruvate is formed in glycolysis.
(b) Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is also an intermediate compound of glycolysis.
( c) Phosphoglycerate is also an intermediate compound of glycolysis.
