The first step in dark reaction of photosynthesis is :

  • formation of ATP

  • ionization of water

  • attachment of CO2 to a pentose sugar

  • excitement of electron of chlorophyll by a photon of light


C.

attachment of CO2 to a pentose sugar

The first step in dark reaction of photosynthesis is carboxylation in which three molecules of CO2 combine with three molecules of ribulose 1, 5-biphosphate (RuBP) to form unstable six carbon compound. Carboxylation of RuBP is catalysed by the enzyme RuBP carboxylase or Rubisco.
