Solution
The correct option is D RuBP carboxylase oxygenase
Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase, commonly known by the abbreviation RuBisCO, is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation, a process by which atmospheric CO2 is converted by plants to energy-rich molecules such as glucose.
Hexokinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates a six carbon sugar hexose to hexose phosphate. Succinic dehydrogenasealso called succinate-coenzyme Q reductase (SQR) or Complex II, is a tetrameric enzyme found in the cell membrane of some bacteria and the inner mitochondrial membrane of mammalian cells. It is a key enzyme complex of tricarboxylic acid cycle and aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria.Pyruvate carboxylase is an enzyme catalysing the irreversible carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
