What are the inputs required for the reduction stage of the Calvin cycle?
  1. NADPH and ATP
  2. NADP⁺ and ADP
  3. CO₂ and ATP
  4. CO₂ and NADP⁺

Solution

The reduction stage of the Calvin cycle involves a series of reactions that lead to the formation of glucose. These reactions require the utilisation of 2 molecules of ATP for phosphorylation and 2 of NADPH for reduction per CO₂ molecule fixed.
