Which of the following groups of molecules are found in the shuffling reactions of stage 3 of photosynthesis? A) C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄, C₅, C₆, and C₇ sugars B) NADPH and ATP C) erythrose-4-phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and xylulose-5-phosphate D) 3-phosphoglycerate, 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shuffling reactions of stage 3 of photosynthesis involve the rearrangement of carbon atoms to form triose phosphates that can be used to make glucose and other sugars. The molecules involved in this process are erythrose-4-phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and xylulose-5-phosphate. NADPH and ATP are produced in earlier stages of photosynthesis, while the molecules listed in options A and D are not involved in the shuffling reactions of stage 3.
