A) Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase
B) Ribulose phosphate carboxylase xygenase
C) Ribulose phosphate carboxylic oxygenase
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Rubisco stands for ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase. Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate (RuBP) is \[C{{O}_{2}}\] acceptor in \[{{C}_{3}}\]plants. RuBP combines with \[C{{O}_{2}}\] in presence of : (RuBP carboxylase) and form an -unstable 6-C compound. This compound this compound immediately broken into 2- molecules of, phophoglyceric acid (PGA) 3-phoshoglyceric acid is first stable compound formed in Calvin cycle. Rubisco enzyme (RuBP carboxylase) constitutes 16% of chloroplast protein. It is z most abundant protein on the earth.
