This is the Brassica flower that we started with for our dissection. You can see the petals which are hiding the stamen, carpel, and filaments from view.

In the plants I see grow in the garden, ATP and NADPH fix carbon dioxide into glucose production. This couldn't happen without the help of Rubisco, a highly abundant protein that catalyzes this production. Rubisco is one of two main protein enzymes that help with photosynthesis. The other is PEPC. PEPC is a function in the C4 cycle, the CAM cycle, and the citric acid cycle.
