Q. $RuBP + O_{2}\overset{\ \ X\ \ }{\rightarrow}PGA +$ Phosphoglycolate. Identify $x$ in the given equation and choose the correct option
A) RuBP carboxylase
B) RuBP oxygenase
C) RuBisCo
D) PEP-carboxylase
Explanation
RuBisCo. RuBisCo is the most abundant enzyme in the world. It is characterised by the fact that active sites can bind to both $CO_{2}$ and $O_{2}$. This binding is competitive. It is the relative concentration of $O_{2}$ and $CO_{2}$ that determines, which of two ($CO_{2}$ and $O_{2}$) will bind to enzyme
