Which of the following is present in Calvin Cycle.

Options

A. Reductive carboxylation
B. Oxidative carboxylation
C. Photophosphorylation
D. Oxidative phosphorylation

Answer

A

Explanation

In dark phase or Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is assimilated with the helpof assimilatory power (ATP and `NADPH_(2)`) to produce organic acid. The cycle involves reduction of carbon involving carboxylation, glycolytic reversal and regeneration of RuBP. `C_(3)` cycle is also known as reductive pentose pathway or photosynthetic carbon Reduction (PCR).
