Question

Carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose during carbon ?

Answer 1

Carbon fixation during photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants synthesise carbohydrates using light energy from the sun. The overall equation is

CO2 + H20 + (energy) → glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis can be split into two stages: The light-dependent reactions, and the light-independent reactions. Carbon fixation (sometimes called the Calvin cycle) is part of the light independent reactions

During carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is incorporated into a 5 carbon sugar called RuBP. This immediately forms two molecules of 3-PGA, which is converted into G3P. Some of the G3P is used to synthesise sugars, and the rest is used to regenerate RuBP.

Answer 2

Carbon fixation

Step-by-step explanation:

In this reaction, carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions formed during the light stage to form glucose.This is a complex process involving several enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The process requires energy which is provided by the ATP formed during the light reactions.
