It plays a major role in photosynthesis due to its role in the Calvin Cycle.]]> 2018-11-08 17:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302198611 Diagram: 20ledeboerk https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302201646 2018-11-08 17:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302201646 Importance: 20ledeboerk https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302202307 Without Rubisco, complex organisms can't be made. It is responsible for fixing carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, which is then becomes complex sugars]]> 2018-11-08 17:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302202307 RuBisCO 20ledeboerk https://padlet.com/20ledeboerk/qmgfwex0x847/wish/302295600 Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase

The article shows evolutionary and functional links between RuBisCO mediated carbon metabolic pathways in photosynthetic organisms.
