A) phosphoglyceric acid
B) lactic acid
C) oxalo acetic acid
D) none of the above.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
: Hatch-Slack pathway (\[{{C}_{4}}\]pathway) is a process of\[C{{O}_{2}}\]fixation which occurs mostly in monocot plants (Artiplex, Cyprus, sugarcane, maize) and in some dicots (Amaranthus) in which the\[C{{O}_{2}}\]is fixed by phosphoenol pyrurate (PEP) and the first stable 4 carbon compound, oxaloacetic acid is produced. In the plants in which\[C{{O}_{2}}\]fixation takes place by Calvin cycle (\[{{C}_{3}}\]cycle), the first product of\[C{{O}_{2}}\] fixation is a 3 carbon compound, phosphoglyceric acid.
