Answer:
RuBisCo is appropriately called RUBP carboxylase - oxygenase because the enzyme catalyses the carboxylation (the chemical process by which a carboxyl group -COOH is added) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, RuBP, a 5-carbon compound, by carbon dioxide (a total of 6 carbons) in a two-step reaction.
