36. Which enzyme is involved in carbon-fixation reaction?

A. NADP reductase
B. Cytochrome reductase
C. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase
D. Glycerol kinase

Correct Answer: C. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase

37. Assume the combined processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the electrons that start as part of H2O at the beginning of the light reactions end up attaching to

B. chlorophyll pigments
C. water
D. carbon dioxide

Correct Answer: B. chlorophyll pigments
