Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Select all that applies:RuBisCO can bind RuBP with
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
acetyl CoA
D
pyruvate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rubisco can bind to either carbon dioxide or oxygen depending on environmental conditions. Binding to carbon dioxide and initiation of the Clavin cycle is favored at low temperatures and at a high carbon dioxide-to-oxygen ratio.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco; EC 4.1. 1.39) catalyzes the addition of gaseous carbon dioxide to ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate (RuBP), generating two molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA), and is thus the key enzyme in CO2 assimilation.
