PGA ( Phosphoglyceric acid) is a first stable product of photosynthesis which under goes reduction. Six molecules of 3-PGA is reduced to six molecules of a chemical compound called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). In this conversion; six molecules of both ATP and NADPH are used. In this reduction reaction, there is gain of electrons by 3-PGA. NADPH is oxidized to NADP+ to give elections and energy is given by ATP.
