Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the presence of two phosphoryl groups in ribulose 1, 5- bisphosphate.
Introduction:
Carbon fixation is the cycle of inorganic carbon dioxide being transformed by living organisms to organic compounds. Fixing carbon takes enormous energy. Most biomass on Earth is carbon which is fixed by bacteria and chloroplast through various processes. The Calvin cycle fixes carbon in plants and algae chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.
