Current Question (ID: 11439)

Question:

If there are 12 molecules of CO₂ to be fixed in photosynthesis, then how many turns of the Calvin cycle and how many molecules of glucose will be synthesized respectively?

Options:

1. 9 turns, 2 molecules.
2. 12 turns, 1 molecule.
3. 6 turns, 1 molecule.
4. 12 turns, 2 molecules.

Solution:

If there are 12 molecules of CO₂ to be fixed in photosynthesis, then 12 turns of the Calvin cycle and 2 molecules of glucose will be synthesized. Each turn of the Calvin cycle fixes one molecule of CO₂ and produces one molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which can be used to synthesize glucose. To synthesize one molecule of glucose, two molecules of G3P are required, and therefore, 12 turns of the Calvin cycle are required to produce 12 molecules of G3P, which can be used to synthesize 2 molecules of glucose.
