During the light-independent reaction, carbon dioxide is fixed by adding it
to a
A) 2-carbon compound
B) 3-carbon compound
C) 4-carbon compound
D) 5-carbon compound

Answer :

Answer:

In the light independent reaction or dark reaction the first step deals with the fixation of Carbon dioxide with Ribulose bisphosphate a 5 carbon compound by the help of  an enzyme known as Ribulose bisphosphste carboxylase(RUBISCO) .

Explanation

The light independent reaction or dark reaction of photosynthesis occur in the Stroma of chloroplast.

            RUBISCO catalyzes the carbon dioxide fixation reaction in which the carbon dioxide reacts with a 5 carbon compound to generate 2 molecules of Phosphoglyceric acid(PGA) a 3 carbon compound the first stable product of C3 cycle .
