How many ATP and NADPH2NADPH_2 are required for the synthesis of one molecule of Glucose during Calvin cycle?

A

12 ATP and 12 NADPH2NADPH_2

B

18 ATP and 12 NADPH2NADPH_2

C

12 ATP and 16 NADPH2NADPH_2

D

18 ATP and 16 NADPH2NADPH_2

Step-by-Step Solution

For the synthesis of one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6C_6H_{12}O_6) in the Calvin cycle, 6 turns are required. Each turn requires 3 ATP and 2 NADPH2NADPH_2. Therefore, 6 turns require 18 ATP and 12 NADPH2NADPH_2.
