3-Phosphoglycerate in the presence of ATP and reduced NADP (from the light-independent stage) is reduced to:
Correct answer: D. 3 carbon compound
- A. Ribulose bisphosphate
- B. 6 carbon compound
- C. 5 carbon compound
- D. 3 carbon compound
Explanation
In the presence of ATP and reduced NADP (produced during the light-dependent reactions), 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) is reduced to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin Cycle.
