Carbon dioxide acts as a source of carbon, it is an inorganic molecule which reactions with RuBP (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate) to for an unstable 6 carbon compound which breaks down into 2 molecules of GP (Glycerate 3-phosphate).
Note: The reaction of CO2 and RuBP is catalysed by Rubisco (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase)
GP in turn is used to synthesize amino acids (with the use of nitrates from the soil) and fatty acids.
What else can I help you with?
Is rubisco able to bind with carbon dioxide and oxygen?
Rubisco will only fix oxygen when carbon dioxide is in short supply or inaccessible (most commonly because of closed or partially closed stomata). When rubisco fixes oxygen instead of carbon, it is called photorespiration. This process probably evolved as an adaption to hot dry environments with limited amounts of carbon dioxide; however, photorespiration is a highly inefficient process.
Blood carrying carbon dioxide?
In humans, carbon dioxide is primarily carried in the blood in the form of bicarbonate ions. It can also bind to hemoglobin, but this is a less common way for carbon dioxide to be transported in the blood. Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration and is transported to the lungs to be exhaled.
Where does carbon dioxide bind?
Carbon dioxide primarily binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, specifically at the amino acid residues, forming carbamino compounds. Additionally, it can dissolve in plasma and bind to water, forming carbonic acid, which dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. This process plays a crucial role in regulating blood pH and facilitating the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
What molecule can bind to rubisco and inhibit carbon fixation rates?
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.
Which is dangerous to breathe carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
Both can be dangerous. CO2 from the side of if there is only co2 there is no oxygen. However, Carbon monoxide can bind 10 times stronger to the iron centre in haemoglobin than oxygen does, therefore you cannot transport oxygen around your body. I'd say due to this, CO is likely to be far more dangerous
Does oxygen and carbon dioxide bind to different parts of hemoglobin?
yes
For what purpose do plants acquire carbon dioxide?
to bind it into sugars that store energy

What are the two chemicals that bind with hemoglobin?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two chemicals that bind with hemoglobin in the blood. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs for transport around the body, while carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin in the tissues for removal from the body.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
What small molecules bind to hemoglobin?
Carbon dioxide and BPG bind to amino acids located on hemoglobin. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron molecules located in the heme. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, one on each of the four iron molecules. Nitric oxide can also bind to hemoglobin when either oxygen or carbon dioxide are bound to the hemoglobin.

Is carbon monoxide less harmfull then carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide is more harmful than carbon dioxide because it is a poison that can bind to hemoglobin in our blood, reducing its ability to carry oxygen. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is a natural byproduct of respiration and is not toxic in normal atmospheric concentrations.
What molecule can bind to rubisco and inhibit carbon fixation rates?
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.
What gas in used in lemonade?
I'm not sure about lemonade, but carbon dioxide is added to make soda fizzy. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a gas that can bind to water (H2O) molecules when it dissolves to form H2CO3, which is a weak acid known as Carbonic Acid.
Is Oxygen diffusion rate affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide?
Yes, the diffusion rate of oxygen is indirectly affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide. A higher concentration of carbon dioxide can lower the pH of blood, which can affect hemoglobin's ability to bind and release oxygen. This can impact the overall efficiency of oxygen diffusion.
