Solution

The correct option is D RuBisCO
In carboxylation phase of the Calvin cycle, CO $_{2}$ is utilized for the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to generate two molecules of 3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde.. This reaction is catalysed by RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo).

The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:

1. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of the photochemically made ATP and NADPH.

2. Regeneration, during which the carbon dioxide acceptor ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate is formed.

3. Carboxylation, during which carbon dioxide combines with rubulose-1, 5-biphosphate.

Identify the correct sequence.
