Question

Rubisco is most efficient at catalyzing which reaction? Group of answer choices A) Condensation of CO2 with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate B) Condensation of CO2 with 3-phosphoglycerate C) Condensation of O2 with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate D) Condensation of CO2 with glucose

Answer 1

Answer: A. Condensation of CO2 with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate

Step-by-step explanation:

Rubisco is important for fixing carbon and the firxt step of the Calvin cycle: combining Carbin Dioxide with Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RUBP).

It is the enzyme most prominent in this reaction and thus the most efficient
