Which molecule is common to both glycolysis and the Calvin cycle?
Correct answer: D. Triose phosphate
- A. Hexose phosphate
- B. NADP
- C. Pentose phosphate
- D. Triose phosphate
Explanation
In glycolysis (respiration), triose phosphate (glyceraldehyde3-phosphate, G3P) is formed during the breakdown of glucose. In the Calvin cycle (photosynthesis), triose phosphate (G3P) is also produced as the first stable product of carbon fixation.
