Wildman and Bonner...sorry but couldnt find the first names
ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco)
The first step of the Calvin cycle is carbon fixation. RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) is the enzyme that fixates a carbon from carbon dioxide to RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisiphosphate) to make 3-phosphoglycerate.
Aluminum was first discovered in Denmark.
The first gas to be discovered was hydrogen. It was discovered by chemist Henry Cavendish in 1766.
Nitrogen was discovered in northern Scotland!
Rubisco is an important enzyme
yes it is
Carbon fixation is catalyzed by the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). RuBisCO is found in plants, algae, and some bacteria, and plays a key role in the Calvin cycle, where it converts carbon dioxide into organic molecules like glucose.
Rubisco
The major enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of carbon dioxide is called ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). RuBisCO is a key enzyme involved in the process of photosynthesis in plants and algae.
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.
Some substitutes for rubisco include enolase, PEP carboxylase, and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase. These enzymes can have higher affinities for carbon dioxide, reducing the rate of photorespiration in plants.
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase
it is RUBISCO
Rubisco
Rubisco, or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, is an enzyme involved in carbon fixation during photosynthesis. While many enzymes end in '-ase' to indicate that they are enzymes, rubisco derives its name from its function, which involves carboxylation and oxygenation reactions, rather than its enzymatic activity.
Rubisco is most active in the stroma of chloroplasts, which is where the Calvin cycle takes place. Rubisco's main function is to catalyze the first step of carbon fixation in photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into organic molecules.
