During carbon fixation, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is attached to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme **ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO)**.
As a result of this reaction, a 6-carbon intermediate is formed, which is unstable and quickly splits into two molecules of **3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA)**. This reaction is the first step in the Calvin cycle, which is part of photosynthesis.
