Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of RuBisCO in photosynthesis?
Correct Answer: RuBisCO is the enzyme that helps in fixing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to make their food using sunlight.
  • Step 2: Know that carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air is one of the ingredients needed for photosynthesis.
  • Step 3: Learn that RuBisCO is an enzyme, which is a special protein that helps speed up chemical reactions.
  • Step 4: Realize that RuBisCO's main job is to help combine carbon dioxide with another molecule in a part of photosynthesis called the Calvin cycle.
  • Step 5: Understand that by fixing carbon dioxide, RuBisCO helps convert it into a form that plants can use to create sugars and energy.
