For each molecule of CO₂ that enters the Calvin-Benson cycle, ____ NADPH molecules are reduced and ____ molecules of ATP are split into ADP and P_i. A)two; two B)two; six C)six; two D)six; six E)five; one

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For each molecule that enters the Calvin-Benson cycle, two NADPH molecules are reduced and two molecules of ATP are split into ADP and Pi. This reflects the basic stoichiometry of the Calvin cycle where the reduction phase requires NADPH and ATP for the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
