Question

Which cells have RuBisCO in C3 and C4 plants?

Answer 1

RuBisCO:

1. RuBisCO is the most plentiful enzyme present in the world.
2. The full form of RuBisCO is Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase.
3. RuBisCO is the main photosynthetic enzyme for carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle.
4. It catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP to produce two molecules of 3-PGA.
5. The Calvin cycle occurs in both C3 and C4 plants.
6. The location of RuBisCO differs in both types of plants.

Location:

1. In C3 plants, RuBisCO occurs in mesophyll cells, whereas in C4 plants RuBisCO is present in bundle sheath cells.
