Coastal areas experience two high and two low tides every 24 hours and 50 minutes because the earth rotates through two tidal bulges every day. High tides occur 12 hours and 25 minutes apart.
Carbon fixation.<span> A </span><span><span>\text {CO}_2<span>CO<span><span>2</span><span></span></span></span></span>C, O, start subscript, 2, end subscript</span><span> molecule combines with a five-carbon acceptor molecule, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (</span>RuBP<span>). This step makes a six-carbon compound that splits into two molecules of a three-carbon compound, 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase, or </span>rubisco<span>.</span>
