Carbon fixation occurs during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis. Carbon fixation occurs during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer;

The above statement is true

Carbon fixation occurs during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis.

Explanation;

-The carbon fixation stage occurs in the stroma and results in the production of glucose. It is a result of an enzyme controlled sequence of reactions requiring ATP and hydrogen (NADPH2) from the light stage, and carbon dioxide.

-Carbon fixation is the process by which inorganic carbon is added to an organic molecule. Carbon fixation occurs during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the C3 or Calvin Cycle.
