Garrett · Answer 1

Answer: A. Condensation of CO2 with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate

Explanation:

Rubisco is important for fixing carbon and the firxt step of the Calvin cycle: combining Carbin Dioxide with Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RUBP).

It is the enzyme most prominent in this reaction and thus the most efficient
