Quite a lot. “Then you might want to think about photosynthesis,” said David Kubien, a biochemist at the University of New ...

But like other plants, its growth and productivity can be limited by the slow activity of Rubisco, the enzyme responsible for carbon assimilation during photosynthesis. In a recent study published ...

In C3 photosynthesis, RuBisCO is found in the chloroplasts of mesophyll cells, which are broadly distributed across the leaves of a plant. At temperatures between 25 °C and 30 °C, when carbon ...

Scientists call this photorespiration. It happens when an enzyme crucial to the photosynthesis process, rubisco, mistakenly latches on to an oxygen molecule instead of carbon dioxide. Rubisco ...

It seems a protein called rubisco is what causes this to happen ... The video embedded below explains something of the photosynthesis mechanism found in different types of plant.
