Q. RuBisCO is an enzyme for

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Solution:

In $C _{3}$ plants, carboxylation is the initial phase of $CO _{2}$ assimilation. Carboxylation is the addition of carbon dioxide to another substance called acceptor. Photosynthetic carboxylation requires ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate or RuBP as acceptor of carbon dioxide and RuBP carboxylase or RuBisCO as enzyme. The enzyme was previously called carboxydismutase.
