304)To form one molecule of glyceraldehyde phosphate in Calvin cycle (1) 9 ATP and 36 NADPH are required. (2) 6 ATP and6 NADPH are required. (3) 3 ATP and 3 NADPH are required. (4) 9 ATP and 6 NADPH are required.
Explain in detail.....

Dear student.

The correct answer is  (4) 9 ATP and 6 NADPH are required.

To make one molecule of G3P molecule, 3 turns of Calvin cycle is required, which can further enter glycolysis. 
9 ATP are required (6 ATP in fixation step and 3 ATP in regeneration step).
6 NADPH is required during the fixation step.

Regards.
