Question
Chapter 20, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason that rubisco is the most abundant enzyme in the world is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase is abbreviated as Rubisco. This enzyme participates in the carbon fixation process where the inorganic or atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted to energy rich molecules like glucose by the plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Rubisco is one of the enzymes of the Calvin cycle.
