how many molecules of ATP and NADPH are require in formation of two molecules of glucose ? How many calvin cycles are required

Options

A. 36 ATP, 24 NADPH, 12 Calvin cycles
B. 18 ATP, 12 NADPH, 6 Calvin cycles
C. 36 ATP, 24 NADPH, 6 Calvin cycles
D. 24 ATP, 36 NADPH, 12 Calvin cycles

Answer

A

Explanation

Calvin cycle output
`{:("Requirement of ","Product of"),("Calvin cycle","Calvin cycle"),(* 6CO_(2),"1 Glucose"),(* 18ATP ,18ADP),(* 12NADPH, 12NADP):}`
Thus for the formation of two molecules of glucose 12 molecules of `CO_2` required thus for fraction of `12CO_2` 12 times Calvin cycle occur. 36ATP And 24NADPH for biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis.
