A aldo sugar that is intermediate between respiration and photosynthesis:

Correct answer: C. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate

  • A. Glucose
  • B. Dihydroxyacetone
  • C. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
  • D. Fructose

Explanation

The aldose sugar that is an intermediate between respiration and photosynthesis is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). G3P is a key intermediate in both the glycolysis pathway and the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. In glycolysis, G3P is produced during the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, while in the Calvin cycle, it is produced during the fixation of carbon dioxide.
