A series of enzymatic steps that fixes carbon dioxide into carbohydrate is called the ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The only pathway mentioned in the options that fixes carbon dioxide into carbohydrate is the Calvin-Benson cycle. The other options involve different metabolic processes, such as the Pentose phosphate pathway for the synthesis of nucleotides and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose catabolism. The Embden-Meyerhoff pathway, also known as glycolysis, converts glucose into pyruvate, but does not involve carbon dioxide fixation.
