These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individualâs awareness or intentional control.
A methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms â CH3. In formulas, the group is often abbreviated Me. Such hydrocarbon groups occur in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in most molecules.
PGA is a three-carbon compound, and the mode of photosynthesis is thus referred to as C3. In the two other known pathways, C4 and CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism), the C3 pathway follows the fixation of CO2 into oxaloacetate, a four-carbon acid, and its reduction to malate.
