Question

Which of the following about Calvin cycle is correct?

(a) It is a metabolic pathway by which plants convert CO2 into pentose sugars as the main product

(b) With decrease in light intensity, the enzymes are more reactive

(c) Rubisco adds CO2 to 3-phosphoglycerate

(d) It is a metabolic pathway by which plants convert CO2 and water into carbohydrates
