    Which of the following is the first compound that accepts carbon dioxide during dark phase of photosynthesis?

    A)  NADP         

    B) RuBP

    C)  Ferredoxin    

    D)  Cytochrome

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Dark phase of photosynthesis or Calvin cycle takes place in stroma of chloroplast. First step of dark phase is carboxylation. In carboxylation \[C{{O}_{2}}\]is combined with RuBP to form first stable compound. \[6RuBP+6C{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{RuBPcarboxylase}\] 12 phosphoglyceric add NADP acts as hydrogen acceptor. Cytochrome or iron porphyrin protein involves in electron transport chain. Ferredoxin is a pigment. It is a component of photosystem-I and involves in light reaction of photosynthesis.
