Question:

Per one Calvin cycle, the number of CO\(_2\) molecules fixed, ATP utilized, and the number of Glucose, NADPH molecules produced respectively are:

Show Hint

The Calvin cycle is the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis, occurring in the stroma of chloroplasts, using ATP and NADPH to fix carbon into glucose.
