Detailed Solution

One Calvin cycle one molecule of carbon dioxide is react with five molecule of  ribulose 5 phosphate to for 2 molecules of PGA (3-Carbon compound) later these two molecules of PGA converted into  two molecules of PGAL(Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphae) in this process 2 molecules of PGAL, 2ATP and 2NADPH are utilized. Hence for three calvin cycles require 3PGAL, 6ATP and 2NADPH.
