Solution
The plant in which carbon fixation occurs as part of the Calvin cycle is the C3 plant.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
In photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water. This process occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
-
The Calvin cycle, also known as the C3 pathway, is the cycle of chemical reactions that occurs in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight.
-
The Calvin cycle has three stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP. In the carbon fixation stage, CO2 is incorporated into a five-carbon sugar named ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is RuBisCO.
