Regeneration of the rubisco substrate, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate involves which of the following sugars?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The regeneration of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, the substrate for rubisco in the Calvin cycle, involves a complex series of reactions that include the use of sugars of various lengths: tetrose-phosphates, pentose-phosphates, hexose-phosphates, and heptose-phosphates. These sugars are intermediates in the rearrangement and phosphorylation processes that ultimately regenerate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate from the products of the carbon fixation reaction.
