The primary acceptor of CO2 - in C3 -plants is

A. PEP

B. Pyruvic acid

C. RuBP

D. ATP

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The primary acceptor of CO2 in C3 plants is RuBP.
Ribulose 1,5 -bisphosphate (RuBP) is an organic substance that is involved in photosynthesis, notably as the principal CO2 acceptor in plants.
It is a colourless anion, a double phosphate ester of the ketopentose (ketone-containing sugar with five carbon atoms) called ribulose.
During photorespiration, RuBP combines with O2 to become 3-PGA and phosphoglycolic acid.
