Question 11 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Biology in the Living Earth

At which point is G3P removed from the Calvin cycle to be used in the production of carbohydrates?

Answer
A
immediately after regeneration
B
immediately after reduction
C
during carbon fixation
D
during photophosphorylation

Explanation

During the reduction phase, 3-PGA is converted into G3P. Some of this G3P leaves the Calvin cycle and is used to make carbohydrates; the remaining G3P continues into regeneration to rebuild RuBP. Therefore, G3P is removed immediately after reduction, choice A.
