Vedclass · Answer

(A) The carboxylation of $	ext{RuBP}$ is the primary step of the Calvin cycle ($C_3$ cycle),which occurs in all photosynthetic plants.In this process,$	ext{RuBP}$ $(5C)$ reacts with $	ext{CO}_2$ to form two molecules of $3$-phosphoglycerate ($3$-$PGA$),which is a $3C$ compound.Since all plants (both $C_3$ and $C_4$ plants) perform the Calvin cycle to synthesize sugars,all the plants listed will produce a $3C$ compound after the carboxylation of $	ext{RuBP}$.The list includes: Pineapple $(CAM)$,Maize $(C_4)$,Rice $(C_3)$,Mustard $(C_3)$,Sorghum $(C_4)$,Opuntia $(CAM)$,Tomato $(C_3)$,and Wheat $(C_3)$.Total number of plants = $8$.

How many plants in the given list can produce $3C$ compound after carboxylation of $\text{RuBP}$? Pineapple,Maize,Rice,Mustard,Sorghum,Opuntia,Tomato,Wheat.
