Q210

Carbon dioxide assimilation occurs through

A.
Krebs cycle
B.
Calvin cycle
Answer
C.
Glycolysis
D.
Anaerobic respiration

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Carbon dioxide assimilation occurs through the Calvin cycle.
The Calvin cycle reactions fix CO2 from the environment to build carbohydrate molecules. An enzyme, RuBisCO, catalyzes the fixation reaction, by combining CO2 with RuBP.
Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose.
