Botany - Photosynthesis in Higher Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

Melvin Calvin used radioactive¹⁴C in algae to study photosynthesis and his studies led to the discovery that the first CO₂fixation product was a 3-carbon organic acid. He also contributed to working out the complete biosynthetic pathway and hence it was called the Calvin cycle. Calvin used isotopes ¹⁴ $C^{}$in chlorella for knowing the carbon path in photosynthesis.
