Consider the following two statements regarding RuBisCO:

I: When carbon dioxide is the substrate, the product of the carboxylase reaction is finally two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate.
II: When molecular oxygen is the substrate, the products of the oxygenase reaction are two molecules of phosphoglycolate.

 
1. Only I is correct 2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct 4. Both I and II are incorrect
