Question : 11 of 60

Marks: +1, -0

The outcome of Calvin cycle includes:

$6\mathrm{CO}_2$ , 18 ATP, 12 NADPH
One glucose, 18 ATP, 12 NADPH
$6\mathrm{CO}_2$ , 18 ADP, 12 NADP
One glucose, 18 ADP, 12 NADP

Solution:

Calvin cycle is the sequence of photosynthetic in which ribulose-5-phosphate is carboxylated, converted to three-carbon carbohydrate precursors and regenerated. It is also called the reductive pentose phosphate cycle. The reaction of Calvin cycle may be summed up as:

6\mathrm{CO}_2+18\mathrm{ATP}+12\mathrm{NADPH}+12\mathrm{H}^{+}\xrightarrow[\text{ dark reaction }]{\text{ Enzymes of }}6\mathrm{RuBP}+

\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6+18\mathrm{ADP}+12\Pi+12\mathrm{NADP}^{+}+6\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}
