D-Ribulose is a carbohydrate molecule that plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. It is a key component in the Calvin cycle, where it is involved in the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. D-Ribulose is a ketopentose sugar, meaning it has five carbon atoms and contains a ketone functional group. This molecule is for the fixation of carbon in plants, as it serves as the initial acceptor of carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle. D-Ribulose is involved in the biosynthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids, contributing to the metabolism of the cell. Its structural and functional properties make it an important molecule in the biochemistry of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
