he carbon dioxide acceptor in Calvin cycle/ C3-plants is
(a) phospho-enol pyruvate (PEP)
(b) ribulose 1, 5-diphosphate (RuBP)
(c) phosphoglyceric acid (PGA)
(d) ribulose monophosphate (RMP).
Correct option -(b)
Carbon dioxide diffuses into the stroma of chloroplasts and combines with a five-carbon sugar, ribulose1,5-biphosphate (RuBP). The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is referred to as RuBisCo, a large molecule that may be the most abundant organic molecule on the Earth.
