A) The carboxylation of RuBP is catalysed by rubisco
B) The first stable intermediate compound formed is phosphoglycerate
C) 18 molecules of ATP are synthesized during carbon fixation
D) NADPH + H+ produced in light reaction is used to reduce diphosphoglycerate
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
In Calvin cycle, 18 molecules of ATP are used in carbon fixation. The overall reaction of Calvin cycle represents as \[6RuBP+6C{{O}_{2}}+18ATP+12NADPH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\]\[6RuBP+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+18ADP+18P+12NAD{{P}^{+}}\]
