The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Calvin Cycle**: The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis. It is also known as the light-independent reactions or dark reactions. The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose. 2. **Identifying the Role of Enzymes**: Within the Calvin cycle, various enzymes facilitate different reactions. One important reaction involves the condensation of trioses, which are three-carbon sugars produced during the cycle. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: The question provides four options for the enzyme responsible for the condensation of trioses: - **Hexokinase**: This enzyme is involved in the phosphorylation of hexoses (six-carbon sugars) to form hexose phosphates. - **Carboxydismutase**: This enzyme is involved in the fixation of CO2 in plants. - **Aldolase**: This enzyme catalyzes the condensation of trioses, specifically converting dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. - **Oxyzo**: This option seems to be a misnomer or incorrect term, as there is no widely recognized enzyme by this name related to the Calvin cycle. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Given the role of aldolase in the condensation of trioses during the Calvin cycle, the correct answer to the question is **aldolase**. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the enzyme responsible for the condensation of trioses during the Calvin cycle is **aldolase**. ---
