  1. Question 1

    Q1. In the Calvin cycle, how many molecules of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) are used to regenerate Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) for every six G3P produced?

    • A) One
    • B) Three
    • C) Five
    • D) Six

    Answer: Five

    Explanation: For every 6 G3P molecules produced, 5 are recycled to regenerate 3 molecules of RuBP, allowing the cycle to continue.
