Detailed explanation-1: -ATP. 9 ATP are converted to 9 ADP ( 6 during the fixation step, 3 during the regeneration step).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle uses 18 ATP and 12 NADPH molecules to produce one glucose molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle: three molecules of CO2 fixed give a net yield of one molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate at the net cost of nine molecules of ATP and six molecules of NADPH.
Detailed explanation-4: -24 ATP, 36 NADPH, 12 Calvin cycles.
Detailed explanation-5: -To make one molecule of glucose? To go through one spin of the Calvin Cycle, 3 CO2, 6 NADPH, AND 9 ATP are needed and to make one molecule of glucose, two spins of the Calvin Cycle happen which doubles the amount (takes 6 CO2, uses 12 NADPH, AND uses 18 ATP).
