Correct option is B
In one turn of Calvin cycle, 2 molecules of 3-PGA are formed. Each molecule of 3-PGA is reduced to PGAL using 1 ATP and 1 NADPH+H+ molecule. Therefore, 2 ATP and 2 NADPH+H+ are required to reduce 2 molecules of 3-PGA formed during fixation of 1 molecule of CO2.Talk to our academic expert!
