Answer:

The correct is the carboxylation process.

Explanation:

Rubisco or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is the major enzyme of the calvin cycle. It is responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide in plants into energy-rich molecules by initiating the Calvin cycle. The chlorophyll captured solar light at the origin of the processes of photosynthesis. RuBP or rubisco catalyzes both carboxylation and oxidation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.

Thus, the correct answer is the carboxylation process.

RuBisCO enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate during the CO2 fixation in the first stage of light-independent reactions.

The light-independent reactions are the second stage of photosynthesis, also called dark reactions because they are not directly driven by light. These reactions convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and other compounds into glucose.

As you can see from the image presented below when parents with AB Ss and AA ss genotypes cross we get three distinct phenotype groups.
Marked in red are the individuals whose A type blood we can determine from the saliva because they have at least one S allele.
Marked in light green are the individuals whose AB type of blood we can determine from the saliva too.
And marked in orange are the individuals that are homozygous recessive for the s allele, and we could not determine their blood type from their saliva.

When did Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen

Travka [436]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen around 200 million years ago.

Explanation:

Many scientists believed that Earth did not have any oxygen. Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the microbes which produced oxygen for the first time with the help of photosynthesis. This was around 4.5 billion years ago: after Hadean eon.

They were very simple, but they produced oxygen in the early earth’s atmosphere. So, they brought evolution on earth. This “blue-green algae” exists in salt water, rocks and soils and play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem.
