Which of the following statements about RuBisCO is true?

  1. It is an enzyme involved in the photolysis of water
  2. It catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP
  3. It is active only in the dark
  4. It has higher affinity for oxygen than carbon dioxide

Answer

(2) It catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP

Solution

RuBisCO (RuBP carboxylase-oxygenase) catalyses the carboxylation of RuBP: RuBP + CO2 2 PGA, the first step of the Calvin cycle.

It does not split water, it is not active only in the dark, and it has a much higher affinity for CO2 than for O2.

Answer: (2)
