10 turns of calvin cycle will produce which? The answer is 20 pgal.
The confusion I'm having with this is because different sources (my kaplan and online sources, etc) have different starting amount for one round of calvin cycle.
Some sources say you start with 3 rubiscos, which means you will have (3) 6 carbon molecules that split into (6) pga. Out of these we net 1 pgal which goes on to be used in other modifications to sugar. ---> in this case, we would net 10 pgal in 10 cycles, not 20.
Other sources say you start with 6 rubiscoes, which mean you will have (6) 6 carbon molecules that split into (12) pga. Out of these, 2 net pga, will be used in further modification. This seems to be the right answer at 20 net pgal for 10 cycles,
so I'm just supposed to discount the first source? is the first source entirely wrong?? I have a feeling i'm looking at it all wrong, because the question itself is part of the test in the same source (kaplan)
This mixup is driving me insane...
