Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After carbon dioxide is fixed into a six-carbon molecule, it is split into two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA). This is the next molecule generated in the Calvin-Benson cycle. The other options, RuBP, glucose, ATP, and NADPH, are involved in other stages of photosynthesis.
