Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Solution:

Both malic acid and aspartic acid are $4$-carbon compounds formed in the mesophyll cells during $C_{4}$ cycle. $PGA$ ($3$-phosphoglyceric acid) is a $3$-carbon compound, which is the first stable product of Calvin cycle ($C_{3}$ cycle). $RuBP$ (Ribulose- $1,5$-biphosphate) is a $5$-carbon compound, which is the primary acceptor of $CO_{2}$ during $C_{3}$ cycle.
