What is carbon fixation, and how does it relate to photosynthesis?
Answers
it is C, the conversion of CO2 into organic compounds, and it forms 3-PGA,

Answer: The process by which plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide or inorganic carbon to produce organic compounds is known as Carbon fixation . It is the process which does not depend on light or is dark reaction of photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Carbon fixation fixes carbon dioxide from inorganic molecules to organic molecules.
First, carbon dioxide reacts with RUBP. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme Rubisco and produces short-lived molecules that spontaneously break down into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules. Then the second phase of the Calvin cycle occurs.
Total carbon fixation occurs to transform stable inorganic molecules into unstable molecules rather than spontaneously decomposing into two organic molecules.
