Question:
Number of ATP and NADPH required to make one triose through Calvin cycle.
Number of ATP and NADPH required to make one triose through Calvin cycle.
Show Hint
Remember 3 COsubscript{2} → 1 G3P → 9 ATP + 6 NADPH (Calvin cycle rule).
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- 6 ATP and 9 NADPH
- 9 ATP and 12 NADPH
- 18 ATP and 12 NADPH
- 9 ATP and 6 NADPH
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To produce one molecule of triose phosphate (G3P), 3 CO2 molecules are fixed, requiring 9 ATP and 6 NADPH in the Calvin cycle.
