Differences between Carboxylation and Oxygenation

The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between carboxylation and oxygenation. Carboxylation: 1. It brings about assimilation of CO2. 2. Oxygen is released. 3. It is an anabolic process and performs photosynthesis. 4. It stores energy. 5. Carboxylation occurs inside chloroplasts. 6. Only one type of organelles is involved. They are chloroplasts. 7. It is favoured by high [...]
