Q. RuBP oxygenase is present in :
(a) Peroxisome
(b) Mitochondria
(c) Chloroplast
(d) Golgi bodies
Solution :
Correct option : C Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is commonly known by the abbreviation RuBisCO. This is the enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation in the Clvin cycle. The carbon fixation is a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted by plants to glucose. The enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP).Thus, the correct answer is option C.
