Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -
|
(a) Melvin Calvin used radioactive The first product identified was 3-phosphoglyceric acid or PGA. For this, he was awarded Nobel Prize |
in algal photosynthesis, which led to the discovery that the first 
fixation product was a 3-carbon organic acid. He also contributed to working out the complete biosynthetic pathway; hence it was called Calvin cycle after him.127 votes
