Q. How many molecules of CO2 will be required to produce 6 molecules of glucose?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

It takes 6 molecules of $C O_{2}$ to be fixed in order to produce 1 molecule of glucose. Hence it would require: $6\times 6=36$ molecules of $C O_{2}$ to produce 6 molecules of glucose by Calvin cycle.
