Q

if 12 NADPH are used in calvin cycle , then how many glucose molecules will be formed

A

1
(calvin cycle occurs 6 times to produce 1 glucose as 5 carbons of G3P are used for RuBP regeneration. 2 nadph used percycle)

Q

the reaction which occurs in thylakoid interior space

A

photolysis

17
Q

in which color of light is photosynthesis maximum

A

red light

18
Q

When NAD+ is converted to NADH, it gains two things:

A

2 electrons and 1 proton

19
Q

how many ATP molecules should be produced from the complete oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A
