Question

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

• A. $31$
• B. $36$
• C. $61$
• D. $67$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $67$

In Calvin cycle, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 18 molecules of ATP, and 12 molecules of NADPH are utilized and also 1 molecule of glucose, 18 molecules of ADP and 12 molecules of NADP are generated.

So, total we get about, 6+18+12+1+18+12=67 molecules.

So, the correct option is '67' and option is 'D'.
