Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -RuBP has five atoms of carbon, flanked by two phosphates. RuBisCO catalyzes a reaction between CO2 and RuBP.
Detailed explanation-2: -It needs an enzyme RuBisCO and ATP to do this. The number of carbon atoms present in ribulose biphosphate is five. Its chemical name is Ribulose-1, 5-diphosphate and chemical formula is C5H12O11P12.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a short sugar chain with five carbon atoms.
Detailed explanation-4: -RuBP, the first acceptor of carbon dioxide, is a 5 carbon ketose sugar with the chemical formula C5H12O11P2.
