1.	Question : 3CO_(2) + 9ATP + 6NADPH + water rarr "glyceral - dehyde 3 - photosphate" + 3ADP + 6NADP^(+) + 8 pi. Anslyse the above reaction and answer the following questions : How many molecules of ATP and NADPH are required to fix one molecule of CO_(2) ? Where in the chloroplast does this process occur ?
Answer» Solution :(a) 2 MOLECULES of ATP are used for phosphorylation of one `CO_(2)and 2` molecules of NADPH are used for reduction. This Calvin CYCLE takes place in STROMA.
