RuBP is ribulose biphosphate. It's purpose is in the dark reaction. It is formed by taking a phosphate, coming from the splitting of ATP, and joining it with RuP, changing RuP (ribulose phospate) into RuBP. RuBP is then able to join with CO2 and form an unstable 6C molecule which is the basis for the dark reaction.

Is RuBP produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
No , it is regenerated in Calvin cycle .
What is the carbon source used in photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide. In the light-independant reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) the enzyme RuBisCo catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP with carbon dioxide, and catalyzes the primary chemcal reaction in which carbon permanently enters the biosphere.
What role does photosynthesis play in a cave ecosystem?
Its essantial
Does the Calvin cycle require RuBP?
yes it does, the RuBP starts the Calvin Cycle.... it begins there
Why is a dark reaction called a cycle?
RuBP made during the dark reaction is used to start the reaction again. novanet.
Does different enzyme controls photosynthesis?
RuBP There mmight be more but rubp is the enzyme used in the Calvin cycle
The end products of photosynthesis are carried through?
End products of photosynthesis is glycerate-3-phosphate which is used to make sugar and RuBP.
What is the final product generated from the Calvin cycle at the end of the photosynthesis reactions?
Ribulose biphosphate (RuBP)
Where does dark stage of photosynthesis take place?
The dark stage of photosynthesis takes place in stroma. The 1 molecule of glucose is converted into glucose by an enzyme called RUBP or RUBISCO.(RUBP=ribulose biphosphate enzyme , RUBISCO=ribulose biphosphate carboxylase oxygenase)
Name the compound of CO2 acceptor in C3 plant?
In C3 plants RuBP is the only significant CO2 acceptor. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is an organic substance that is involved in photosynthesis.
Is RuBP produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
No , it is regenerated in Calvin cycle .
Photorespiration lowers the efficiency of photosynthesis by preventing the formation of?
3-phosphoglycerate molecules
What is the role of photosynthesis in food chain?
The role of photosynthesis in a food chain is called a producer.
How does RuBP get regenerated?
In the Calvin Cycle 3 ATP molecules are required to regenerate RUBP from 5 G3P. RuBP is an addition of CO2 that is involved with carbon fixation.
What is the role of cholroplast in photosynthesis?
In plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes, photosynthesis occurs IN the chloroplast.
How is food prepared in Plants during Photosynthesis?
Light independent stage. During Calvin cycle, RuBP used with Co2 to form glycerate-3-phosphate which can be used to form sugar(food).
Why does sugar have such a big role in photosynthesis?
