Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “Both carbon dioxide and _______ compete for the active site of RuBisCo.”
Introduction:
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are initiated by RuBisCo (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase). The process of photorespiration includes the consumption of oxygen molecules for producing CO2 (carbon dioxide). The active site of the RuBisCo enzyme is capable of binding with more than one molecule.
