Which part of the light-independent reactions would be affected if a cell could not produce the enzyme rubisco?

Carbon fixation

Explanation:

Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCo) is an enzyme which catalyses the reaction in which Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBp), a 5 carbon compound reacts with carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions. The reaction results in a 6 carbon compound. In the Calvin cycle, RuBisCo is regenerated from Glycerate-3-phosphate, a three carbon intemediate. In the absence of RuBisCo, fixation of carbon dioxide will not happen, thus carbohydrate will not formed.

c-reactive protein (crp) is an acute phase protein belonging to pentraxin family of proteins, whose levels increases 1000-fold or more in concentration in blood during the occurrence of an injury, inflammation or tissue death.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
