The Full Form of RUBISCO is Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

The autotrophic mode of nutrition of plants, is derived from oxygenic photosynthesis. Energy-rich organic compounds are synthesized from low-energy atmospheric CO₂, using the energy of absorbed sunlight. (Some bacteria are nonoxygenic photosynthesizers, utilizing hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, rather than water.) The resultant organic compounds initiate the flow of energy and carbon through the food chains of managed and natural ecosystems, intrinsically linking plants with the heterotrophic life-forms of the remaining kingdoms of organisms. The oxygen liberated by plants (and certain photosynthetic protists and prokaryotes) over geologic time has oxygenated Earth’s atmosphere and has produced fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and …(100 of 20196 words)
