Ribulose Bisphosphate
A five-carbon sugar which plays a crucial role in the process of carbon fixation in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water, generating oxygen as a byproduct.
Carbon Dioxide Fixation
The process of converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into a usable form of carbon by living organisms, crucial in photosynthesis.
RuBP
Ribulose biphosphate, a molecule that acts as the acceptor of carbon dioxide in the first step of the Calvin cycle during photosynthesis.
