G3P is short for Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate, and PGAL is short for PhosphoGlycerALdehyde. They are just different abbreviations for the same compound!

This one is correct.

PGA and G3P are the same!

This one is not.

6CO2 + 6RuBP (+ rubisco as a catalyst) --> 12PGA
12PGA + 12ATP + 12NADPH --> 12G3P/PGAL
6ATP + 10G3P/PGAL --> 6RuBP
2 G3P/PGAL --> 1 Glucose/monosaccharide

PGA become PGAL(G3P) when it meets ATP and NADPH.
