What happens when oxygen is added to RuBP?
What happens when oxygen is added to RuBP? Photorespiratory reactions Addition of molecular oxygen to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate produces 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) and 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG, or PG). PGA is the normal product of carboxylation, and productively enters the Calvin cycle. Does RuBP have oxygen? Oxygenation is quantitatively important, because under ordinary gaseous conditions, Read more…
