Question

during carbon fixation (phase1), co2 is attached to RuBP by the enzyme?
GPT-4o mini
During carbon fixation (Phase 1 of the Calvin cycle), carbon dioxide (CO2) is attached to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme **ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase**, commonly known as **RuBisCO**. This reaction produces an unstable intermediate that quickly breaks down into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA).
