Succulent organisms obtain a main reactant of this reaction series by breaking down malate to pyruvate in crassulacean acid metabolism.
Succulent organisms obtain a main reactant of this reaction series by breaking down malate to pyruvate in crassulacean acid metabolism. In this reaction chain, G3P is formed after the reduction of 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (BI-FOSS-fo-GLISS-er-ate) by NADPH. The first step of this reaction chain is catalyzed by (*) rubisco and requires an intake of carbon dioxide. The end product of this reaction series in the stroma is converted to glucose. For 10 points, name this carbon-fixation cycle that follows the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
