Question

Give full forms of PGA, OAA, RuBP

Answer 1

phosphoglyceric acid (PGA).

OAA -Oxaloacetate

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)

Answer 2

"PGA: 3-phosphoglyceric acid; it is a three-carbon sugar that is produced from the six-carbon sugar formed by ribulose bis phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

OAA: Oxaloacetic acid; It is involved in the first step of citric acid cycle wherein oxaloacetic acid combines with acetyl CoA to form citric acid.

RuBP: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate; it is involved in the fixation of carbon where it is the five-carbon acceptor molecule for the single carbon from carbon-dioxide in the Calvin Cycle.
