Carbon fixation
During Calvin cycle
The key enzyme involved in carbon fixation is called ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). It catalyzes the first step in the process of carbon fixation during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules.
Carbon fixation is the process by which carbon from carbon dioxide is incorporated into organic compounds.Specifically, fixation describes a conversion from inorganic to organic. The process is carried out by living organisms. Organisms known as autotrophs - e.g., plants - will grow by conducting carbon-fixing photosynthesis. Others known as heterotrophs - e.g., animals - will grow by using an autotroph's fixed carbon.
Carbon is used to make sugars in the "carbon fixation" step of the carbon cycle, which occurs during photosynthesis in plants. During this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into organic sugars, which are used for energy and growth by plants.

During Calvin cycle
The key enzyme involved in carbon fixation is called ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). It catalyzes the first step in the process of carbon fixation during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into organic molecules.
Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to occur.
The primary source of carbon for carbon fixation in plants is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. In photosynthesis, plants use the enzyme RuBisCO to fix CO2 into organic molecules, eventually producing glucose for energy.
Carbon fixation takes place during the Calvin cycle, which is the second stage of photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into organic compounds by using the energy obtained from light-dependent reactions.

The biochemical process responsible for carbon fixation is photosynthesis, specifically the Calvin cycle. During this process, carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrates by utilizing energy from sunlight and enzymes found in plant cells. This pathway is essential for plants to build organic molecules needed for growth and survival.
Carbon is used in photosynthesis as part of carbon dioxide, which is one of the reactants needed in photosynthesis. Without carbon, this process cannot occur.
