Solution
The correct option is A 12
Calvin cycle fixes one molecule of carbon which can be used to make sugar. It takes three turns of the Calvin cycle to create one molecule of glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate. After six turns of the Calvin cycle, two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate can be combined to make a fructose molecule. So, total 12 calvin cycle are required to produce 12 molecules of fructose.Thus, the correct answer is '12.'
