How many carbons are in a molecule of glucose?

• 12

• 3

• 6

• 1

How many G3P molecules are needed to form one molecule of glucose?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 6

What happens to the remaining G3P molecules in the Calvin cycle?

• They are converted into ATP

• They are wasted

• They are stored as glycogen

• They are used to recreate RuBPs

What is the primary advantage of using cycles in biological production processes?

• They reduce the amount of energy required

• They increase the amount of waste produced

• They reduce the overall efficiency

• They enhance the overall efficiency
