What is rubp?
RuBP: Ribulose Biphosphate It is a 5-carbon molecule which combines with carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle to produce a six-carbon compound. Hope this helps!
In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide becomes fixed to?
Atp and nadph
What is the carbon source used in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide. In the light-independant reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) the enzyme RuBisCo catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP with carbon dioxide, and catalyzes the primary chemcal reaction in which carbon permanently enters the biosphere.
What is the difference between rubisco and RuBP?
Ribulose bisphosphate, known as RuBP, is a 5-carbon sugar that is used in the Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) to fix carbon from CO2 (carbon dioxide). The Dark reactions begin when one molecule of CO2 is attached to RuBP. This is where RuBisCO comes in. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is the enzyme that catalyzes the addition of the CO2 molecule to the RuBP. This forms an unstable 6-carbon compound which immediately splits to form two molecules of a 3-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) Hope that is helpful!
What is the role of rubp in photosynthesis?
RuBP is ribulose biphosphate. It's purpose is in the dark reaction. It is formed by taking a phosphate, coming from the splitting of ATP, and joining it with RuP, changing RuP (ribulose phospate) into RuBP. RuBP is then able to join with CO2 and form an unstable 6C molecule which is the basis for the dark reaction.
What requires carbon dioxide rubp ATP and nadph?
Light independent reaction, which occurs in the stroma.
Carbon fixation involves the addition of carbon dioxide to what?
In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is added to RuBP.
What molecule is regenerated in the Calvin cycle?
Carbon dioxide
What is an example of an Carbon dioxide acceptor?
ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)
Process in which Carbon dioxide is attached to Rubp Molecules?
7

What will happen to the concentration of RuBP and GP if the supply of carbon dioxide is reduced?
GP will be reduced as there will be less carbon dioxide to break down RuBP to form 2 shorter chain molecules.
What carbon atom from carbon dioxide is used to change the five-carbon sugar RuBP into what?
ATP.
A carbon atom from carbon dioxide is used to change the five carbon sugar RuBP into?
a six carbon sugar
What chemically bonds carbon dioxide to RuBP?
RuBisCo (Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase)
A carbon atom from carbon dioxide is used to change the five-carbon sugar RuBP are formed?
To a six-carbon sugar :) Enjoy!
In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide becomes fixed to?
Atp and nadph
