Which part of the Calvin cycle would be affected if a cell could not produce the enzyme RuBisCO?

What will be an ideal response?


None of the cycle could take place, because RuBisCO is essential in fixing carbon dioxide. Specifically, RuBisCO catalyzes the reaction between carbon dioxide and RuBP at the start of the cycle.
