In the Calvin cycle, CO2 reacts with RuBP to produce _.
Correct answer: C. 6-Carbon unstable intermediate
- A. 3-PGA
- B. G3P
- C. 6-Carbon unstable intermediate
- D. 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate
Explanation
The reaction in the Calvin cycle where CO₂ reacts with RuBP produces a 6-carbon unstable intermediate because of the way carbon fixation occurs during the process.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
