Answer:

The first step also referred to as Carbon Fixation

Step-by-step explanation:

RuBisCo is an enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of carbon molecule to ribulose phosphate (RuBp) forming the 6-carbon molecule that immediately splits into two 3-carbon molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA).
