It is an enzyme that triggers the carboxylation (combining of carbon dioxide) of ribulose biphosphate in the stroma of chloroplasts in plants. This carboxylation is the first step of the light-dependant reaction that occurs in plants and this light-dependant reaction is the second stage of photosynthesis.

In the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis, the enzyme rubisco grabs CO2 and incorporates it into RuBP (commonly called carbon fixation). The cycle continues until one G3P is made; a precursor to glucose.

Rubisco is the enzyme that attaches each carbon dioxide molecule to a molecule of ribulose biphosphate, beginning the Calvin Cycle.
