Linked from

The 9 pages that link to RuBisCO, each with the reason it gives.

• PhotosynthesisRelated: Its carbon-fixing reaction begins the Calvin cycle, but it can also react with oxygen.

• C4 carbon fixationRelated: C4 plants concentrate carbon dioxide around this enzyme to favor carbon fixation.

• Calvin cycleRelated: It performs the cycle’s carbon-entry reaction and can also react with oxygen.

• Crassulacean acid metabolismRelated: CAM’s daytime carbon release helps Rubisco operate when stomata are closed.

• C3 carbon fixationRelated: It performs the carbon-fixing reaction that begins the pathway.

• PhotorespirationRelated: Its oxygenase activity initiates photorespiration by producing phosphoglycolate.

• Melvin CalvinRelated: RuBisCO catalyzes the cycle’s initial carbon-fixation reaction.

• Biological carbon fixationRelated: It performs the defining carbon-entry reaction in the Calvin cycle.

• Glyoxylic acidRelated: Its oxygenation reaction initiates the plant pathway that ultimately generates glyoxylate.
