Answer;
- 3-PGA
Explanation;
-The compound that is a metabolic intermediate of the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis is 3-PGA.
-The light-independent reactions, or dark reactions, of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. 3-PGA is an important metabolic intermediate of the light independent reactions. ATP and NADPH then use their stored energy to convert the three-carbon compound, 3-PGA, into another three-carbon compound konwn as G3P.
