Solution

The correct option is B G-3-P
The product of the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle is a triose sugar, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G-3-P), which is formed on reduction of 3-phosphoglyceric acid. G-3-P is the final product of carbon reduction.

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.
