Question

What is RuBisCO ? What is its full form ?

Answer 1

RUBISCO is a most abundant protein produced by plants.
full form of RUBISCO is RibUlose-1 Bipohsphate 5. carboxylase oxygenase

Answer 2

RuBisCO:

• RuBisCO is most "abundant enzyme" on earth, and it stands for a big name "Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase".

• This enzyme is present in matrix of chloroplasts that acts on substrates "ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate" and carbon dioxide and oxygen, either one at a time.

• The "RuBisCO" is most important enzyme that is associated with carbon fixation.

• It fixes one molecule of carbon dioxide with one molecule of ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate to produce two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate.

• This step is very essential in dark phase of "photosynthesis".
