How many Calvin cycles are required to produce 5 molecules of glucose

1.	How many Calvin cycles are required to produce 5 molecules of glucose ?A. 60B. 15C. 30D. 90
Answer» Correct Answer - C Glucose is a hexose sugar . Its one molecule contains six carbons. As Calvin cycle takes place in only one carbon (as `CO_2`) at a time , six turns of this cycle will be required to produce one molecule glucose (6C). Hence , for producing 5 molecules of glucose (30 molecules of carbon), 30 truns of Calvin cycle are required.
