Question
Chapter 8, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The function of NADPH during the Calvin cycle.
Introduction: The researcher Melvin Calvin, Andrew Adam Benson along with their colleagues discovered the Calvin cycle. This is an energy driven cycle that requires six carbon dioxide molecules to synthesise one molecule of glucose using 18 ATP molecules and 12 NADPH molecules.
