Specify how a pentose phosphate is a `CO_(2)` acceptor in the dark reaction of photosynthesis?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

RuBP (Pentose phosphate) is the acceptor of `CO_2` during Calvin cycle. Melvin Calvin used tracer technique to detect that RuBP is regenerated in `C_3` cycle and combines with `CO_2` to form 3-phosphoglyceric acid (triose sugar).
