What is the function of RuBisCO in the Calvin cycle?
  1. Formation of glucose
  2. Phosphorylation
  3. Reduction
  4. Carboxylation

Solution

RuBisCO (RuBP carboxylase-oxygenase) is the enzyme that catalyses the carboxylation step of the Calvin cycle. It results in the formation of two molecules of 3-PGA from CO₂ and RuBP.
