Which molecule would first contain 14C if the alga Chlorella was grown in the presence of light and radioactive CO2?
A. Glycerate 3-phosphate
B. Glucose
C. Rubisco
D. Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
For this question I immediately crossed out B and C but I could not figure which one was correct between A and D. I chose D but correct answer is A. Can someone explain why? Thanks
