Question

True or false: Each turn of the Calvin cycle produces one molecule of glucose. If false, please make it a true statement.

Answer 1

False.

Explaination:- on every three steps of the calvin cycle the carbon of the carbon dioxide is fixed that means three atoms of carbon are fixed from three molecules of carbon dioxide during this carbon fixation stage carbon dioxide is attached to RuBP by an enzyme called rubisco the resulting six carbon product quickly splits into two molecules of three carbon compound called 3-phosphoglycerate when three carbon dioxide molecule enters this cycle then six molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate is produced. The 3 phosphoglycerate molecule then enters the reduction stage.
