Question
What is the fate of G3P produced in the Calvin cycle?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is a three-carbon sugar. Some G3P molecules exit the cycle to form glucose and other organic molecules, while most are used to regenerate the CO2 acceptor, RuBP.
Hint
Think of G3P as the useful product that gets converted to sugar and also recycles the starting material.
