Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The first event that happens to CO2 in Calvin Cycle turns it into
A
a 2 carbon compound (phosphoglycolate)
B
a 3 carbon compound (PGA)
C
a 4 carbon compound (malate)
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The key step in the Calvin cycle is the event that reduces CO2. CO2 binds to RuBP in the key process called carbon fixation, forming two-three carbon molecules of phosphoglycerate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, PGA is the first stable product formed during the Calvin cycle. PGA is a 3 carbon compound.

Detailed explanation-3: -The carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon sugar phosphate molecules, or “triose phosphates", namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

Detailed explanation-4: -The PGA molecule loses an oxygen atom as it turns into PGAL.
