Q. Fixation of six molecules of $CO_{2}$ needs

A) 5 turns of Calvin cycle
B) 6 turns of Calvin cycle
C) 3 turns of Calvin cycle
D) 2 turns of Calvin cycle
Explanation

Reduction These are series of reactions that lead to the formation of glucose. The steps involved are: utilisation of 2 molecules of ATP for phosphorylation and two molecules of NADPH for the reduction per $CO_{2}$ molecule fixed. The fixation of six molecules of $CO_{2}$, 6 turns of the cycle the required for the removal of one molecule of glucose from the pathway
