3 of 5
which of the following is an enzyme which forms a six-carbon compound when combined with carbon dioxide and rubp?
○ glucose
○ nadph
○ atp
○ rubisco

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Glucose: A sugar, not an enzyme.
• NADPH: A coenzyme/electron carrier, not an enzyme.
• ATP: An energy - carrying molecule, not an enzyme.
• RuBisCo (Ribulose - 1,5 - bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase): It is the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and RuBP (Ribulose - 1,5 - bisphosphate) to form an unstable six - carbon compound during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.

Answer:

D. RuBisCo
