What factor determines the binding of carbon dioxide to the active site of RuBisCO? Correct Answer Relative O2 and CO2 concentration

The active site of RuBisCO can bind to both oxygen and carbon dioxide. It has a higher affinity for carbon dioxide. Hence, the relative concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen decide the binding of carbon dioxide.

In the carbonation of a soft drink, the total quantity of carbon dioxide required is the equivalent of 3 volumes of gas to one volume of water at 0⁰C and atmospheric pressure. Calculate (i) the mass fraction and (ii) the mole fraction of the CO2 in the drink, ignoring all components other than CO2 and water. Basis 1 m3 of water = 1000 kg Volume of carbon dioxide added = 3 m3 From the gas equation, pV = nRT 1 x 3 = n x 0.08206 x 273 n = 0.134 mole. Molecular weight of carbon dioxide = 44 And so weight of carbon dioxide added = 0.134 x 44 = 5.9 kg
