carbon-fixation
Carbon fixation is the biological process by which plants convert inorganic carbon dioxide into organic compounds, primarily through photosynthesis. This process forms the foundation of plant growth and development, as the resulting sugars and organic molecules provide both the energy and structural building blocks plants need to build tissues, leaves, and seeds. Understanding the enzymes and pathways involved in carbon fixation, such as those centered on the enzyme RuBisCO, is central to research aimed at improving crop yields and plant resilience to changing environmental conditions.
