photorespiration. In a plant cell, the breakdown of a two-carbon compound produced by the Calvin cycle. The Calvin cycle produces the two-carbon compound, instead of its usual three-carbon product G3P, when leaf cells fix O2, instead of CO2. Photorespiration produces no sugar molecules or ATP.
In a D sugar, the hydroxy functional group is on the right side of the asymmetric carbon atom. D-glyceraldehyde (D for dextrorotatory) rotates light to the right. D-Glucose is an aldohexose with four stereogenic centers stacked on top of one another.It is also referred to as dextrose, grape sugar, or blood sugar.t is a ketohexose. Glucose and fructose are formed in equal amounts when sucrose is hydrolyzed by the enzyme invertase or by heating with dilute acid; the resulting equimolar mixture of fructose and glucose, called invert sugar, is the major component of honey. Fructose is a reducing sugar.
