The first stable product of CO fixation in sorghum is:
Pyruvic acid
Oxaloacetic acid
Succinic acid
Phosphoglyceric acid
To solve this problem, we need to identify the first stable product of CO fixation in sorghum. Sorghum is a C plant, and the process of CO fixation in C plants is different from that in C plants.In C plants, the initial fixation of CO occurs in the mesophyll cells.The enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEP carboxylase) catalyzes the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and CO to form oxaloacetic acid (OAA).Oxaloacetic acid is the first stable product of CO fixation in C plants like sorghum.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: Oxaloacetic acid.
