Solution:
For every CO2 molecule entering the Calvin cycle, 3 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of NADPH are required. To make one molecule of glucose, 6 turns of the cycles are required (6×3ATP=18ATP and 6×2NADPH=12NADPH) In 6 CO 2 18ATP Out 1 glucose 18ADP
12NADPH 12NADP, So, the correct answer is ' 3ATP and 2NADPH2'
