Question

How many turns of Calvin cycles are required for the production of one molecule of glucose and fructose respectively?

• A. $6,6$
• B. $6,12$
• C. $12,3$
• D. $12,6$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $6,6$

For the formation of one. glucose molecule 18 ATP and 12NADH2 are necessary. It means formation of one glucose molecule minimum 6times non-cyclic and 6 times cyclic photophosphorylation take place. Means 6,6 Calvin cycle required to produce one molecule of glucose and fructose.
