During photorespiration, rubisco uses _______ as a substrate. A) CO₂ B) O₂ C) glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate D) 3-phosphoglycerate E) NADPH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During photorespiration, rubisco uses oxygen (O2) instead of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a substrate, resulting in the formation of 2-phosphoglycolate, which is eventually converted to glycolate. Therefore, rubisco uses O₂ (oxygen) as a substrate during photorespiration.
