Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To predict: The purpose of research done by Calvin and his colleagues.
Introduction: The Calvin cycle utilizes the energy produced by the light-dependent reaction into synthesizing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. The NADPH acts as a reducing agent that adds the high energy electrons to the carbon dioxide molecule to form polysaccharide (glucose).

- Question 1. Answer the following questions: A. The complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal of free energy.How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if theuseful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of 1 mole of ATP is 12kcal?
