How many ATP and NADPH2 are required for the synthesis of one molecule of Glucose during Calvin cycle?
- A18 ATP and 12 NADPH2
- B12 ATP and 16 NADPH2
- C18 ATP and 16 NADPH2
- D12 ATP and 12 NADPH2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
For every CO2 molecule entering the Calvin cycle, 3 molecules of ATP and 2 of NADPH2 are required. To make one molecule of glucose, 6 turns of the cycle are required. Thus, ATP and NADPH2 molecules required for synthesis of one molecule of glucose during Calvin cycle will be
