Q.
How many ATP and NADPH molecules are required to make one molecule of glucose through the Calvin pathway?
- A
18 ATP and 12 NADPH
- B
12 ATP and 18 NADPH
- C
24 ATP and 18 NADPH
- D
6 ATP and 12 NADPH
Solution
One turn of the Calvin cycle fixes a single CO molecule using 3 ATP and 2 NADPH+H.
For one glucose molecule, 6 turns are needed, requiring ATP and NADPH+H.
