Question

During Calvin cycle the total number of $C{O}_2$, ATP and NADPH molecules utilized and glucose, ADP and NADP generated is

• A. 31
• B. 36
• C. 61
• D. 67

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In Calvin cycle, we can see that about $6$ molecules of carbon dioxide, $18$ molecules of ATP, and about $12$ molecules of NADPH are utilized and on the other side about $1$ molecule of glucose, $18$ molecules of ADP and $12$ molecules of NADP are generated. So, in total we get about, $6+18+12+1+18+12=67$ molecules.
