If 12 NADPH are used in Calvin cycle, then how many glucose molecule will be formed:
Correct answer: A. One
- A. One
- B. Six
- C. Two
- D. Twelve
Explanation
Since 6 molecules of NADPH are used for the synthesis of 1 G3P in Calvin cycle, so for the synthesis of one glucose molecule that requires 2 G3P molecules, 12 molecules of NADPH are required.For the synthesis of one glucose molecule, 6 Calvin cycles are necessary and a total of 18 ATP, 12 NADPH are consumed in 6 Calvin cycles.
