B) Decarboxylation
C) Dehydrogenation
D) Deamidation
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Addition of carbon dioxide in to a compound is called carboxylation.
Carboxylation is a first reaction of dark reaction.
6 Ribulose-1, 5 biphosphate + 6 CO2 +6H2O $ \underset{RuBP,carboxylatase}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{Carboxydimutatase}}}, $ $ \underset{(12,mols)}{\mathop{3phospholglyceric}}acid $ 1, 3 biphosphoglycoric acid +12 NADP.2H $ \xrightarrow{Triose,phosphate,dehydrogenase}3phosphoglyceraldehyde+12NAD{P^{+}}+12H_3PO_4.
