When oxygen is attached to RuBp (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) instead of carbon, it forms an unstable intermediate in the Calvin cycle called the RuBP carboxylation product. This product is quickly converted into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate by the enzyme Rubisco, initiating the fixation of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
No, not all sugars have an oxygen attached to every carbon. For example, in deoxyribose sugar found in DNA, one of the carbons lacks an oxygen atom.
When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes more electronegative. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, causing it to attract electrons towards itself, making the carbon atom more electron-deficient.
The structure of fructose in its pyranose form is a six-membered ring with five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. The carbon atoms are numbered 1 to 6, with the oxygen atom attached to carbon 1. The structure also includes a hydroxyl group attached to carbon 2 and a carbonyl group attached to carbon 5.
In a carbon dioxide molecule, carbon does not take electrons from oxygen. Instead, carbon shares electrons with oxygen through covalent bonds, forming a stable molecule.
If carbon and oxygen react, the product would typically be carbon dioxide (CO2). This reaction occurs when carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) combine, creating one molecule of carbon dioxide.
No, not all sugars have an oxygen attached to every carbon. For example, in deoxyribose sugar found in DNA, one of the carbons lacks an oxygen atom.
The molecule that can bind to RuBisCO and inhibit carbon fixation rates is oxygen. This process is known as photorespiration, and occurs when RuBisCO binds with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, leading to a decrease in the efficiency of photosynthesis.
Hydrogen atoms released from water are added to carbon dioxide molecules so that carbon oxygen bonds are broken and carbon atoms can join together. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms. That way, a carbon atom joins two other carbon atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms joins the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms joins with the oxygen atom. You end up with the carbon atom attached to four different atoms.
When an oxygen atom is attached to a carbon atom, the carbon atom becomes more electronegative. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, causing it to attract electrons towards itself, making the carbon atom more electron-deficient.
When fuel burns in virtually no oxygen, incomplete combustion occurs which leads to the production of carbon monoxide (CO) instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). This can be dangerous since carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful when inhaled.
primary - if only one carbon is attached to the carbon attached to the oxygen for example CH3-CH2-OH Secondary - if two carbons are attached to the carbon attached to the oxygen for example ...............................CH3-CH-OH .........................................| .......................................CH3 Tertiary - if three carbons are attached to the carbon attached to the oxygen for example ................................CH3 ..................................| ..........................CH3-C-OH ..................................| ................................CH3 (ignore the .'s it was the only way I could make the diagrams)

No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.

carbon dioxide.
This splitting of carbon dioxide into oxygen gas and carbon compounds occurs during the process of photosynthesis in green plants, using sunlight as an energy source. In this process, carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules while releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
