To synthesize exactly one molecule of glucose, how many complete turns of the Calvin cycle must occur within the stroma of the chloroplast?
Q1. To synthesize exactly one molecule of glucose, how many complete turns of the Calvin cycle must occur within the stroma of the chloroplast?
Answer: Six turns
Explanation: Six turns are needed for one glucose (6 carbons); three turns produce one G3P (3 carbons), which is a frequent point of confusion.
