For every 3 molecules of carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle, how much G3P is produced?
Correct answer: A. 6
- A. 6
- B. 2
- C. 4
- D. 8
Explanation
The products in one turn of the Calvin cycle are 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules, 3 ADP, and 2 NADP+.Therefore for every 3 molecules of CO2 in the Calvin cycle, 6G3P is produced.Hence, A is the correct option.
