what is rubisco |
| Answer» Rubisco stands for\xa0Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase.\xa0Rubisco is a carboxylase/oxygenase enzyme which plays a dual role in Calvin cycle. This is because the active site of enzyme is same for both carboxylation and oxygenation reactions.*Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase is an enzyme which catalyses the combination of RuBP with carbo dioxide to give rise to two molecules of phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) during Calvin cycle.*When there is less concentration of Carbon dioxide and high Oxygen concentration, RuBP is oxidised to one molecule of phosphoglycolate and one molecule of PGA during Calvin cycle. | |
