Solution

The plant in which carbon fixation occurs as part of the Calvin cycle is the C3 plant.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. In photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water. This process occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

  2. The Calvin cycle, also known as the C3 pathway, is the cycle of chemical reactions that occurs in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight.

  3. The Calvin cycle has three stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP. In the carbon fixation stage, CO2 is incorporated into a five-carbon sugar named ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is RuBisCO.
