1) An enzyme called RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase) helps catalyze the reaction that turns CO2 into glucose, which plants use as an energy source.

2) Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase catalyzes the addition of gaseous carbon dioxide to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), generating two molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA), and is thus the key enzyme in CO2 assimilation.
