No the reaction will not take place
Step-by-step explanation:
Chloroplasts serves as a site for photosynthesis in plants. The process of photosynthesis which is essential for plants to make food occurs in two elaborate reactions namely:
1. Light-dependent Reaction: Where chlorophyll takes energy from the sunlight and preserves it as chemical energy
2. Light-independent Reaction: Which occurs after light-dependent where the energy is used from the light-dependent reaction to synthesize CO2 into carbohydrates.
The Light-independent reaction occurs in the stroma in the presence of CO2, Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate (RuBP) and an enzyme called (RuBisCO) Ribulose- 1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase which catalyzes the process.
. If Professor Danielle deactivates RuBisCO then the process of Calvin Cycle results in the end product of glucose by the process of fixation, reduction, and regeneration. The process will immediately cease depriving the plant of all the essential macronutrients produced as the end result of the Calvin cycle i.e.. glucose, starch, amino acid, and fatty acid.
This deprivation of nutrients will eventually affect the synthesis of ATP and formation of NADPH as food deprivation would affect the normal functioning of cell organelles.
