Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When carbon dioxide binds with RuBP it creates a 6 Carbon compound that is broken apart into
A
two pyruvates
B
two acetyl CoA
C
two PGA
D
two G3P
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RuBisCO catalyzes a reaction between CO2 and RuBP, which forms a six-carbon compound that is immediately converted into two three-carbon compounds. This process is called carbon fixation, because CO2 is “fixed” from its inorganic form into organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overall, glycolysis converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 6-carbon molecule formed by carbon fixation immediately splits into two, 3-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). In step two, 3-PGA is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a chemical used to make glucose and other sugars. Creating G3P is the ultimate objective of the Calvin cycle.
