The trioses which are intermediate in respiration and photosynthesis are_______________?

Correct answer: C. Both of these

  • A. Glyceraldehydes
  • B. Dihydroxy acetone
  • C. Both of these
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate are three-carbon intermediates found in pathways of both photosynthesis and respiration, so both listed trioses qualify. The likely mistake is choosing glyceraldehydes alone by remembering only glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and overlooking dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
