Rubisco is an important enzyme that helps in making lifeless carbon of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a
short sugar chain with five carbon atoms that has rubp as its shortcut. Rubisco then clips the
lengthened chain into to polyglycerate pices, which are pretty flexible molecules and are also used in the feeding of the plant. Most of it is used in the photosynthesis pathway, but some of it is used to make sucrose
(table sugar) to feed the rest of the plant, or stored away in the form
of starch for later use. Hence, rubisco is crucial in the storing of the energy that is created from photosynthesis.
Answer:
An ion with 11 protons, 11 neutrons, and 10 electrons would have a charge of 1+, also expressed as a charge of positive one or +1.
The balanced chemical reaction:
C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O
We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) (
22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>
