How many NADPH are required to generate a 4-carbon fatty acid? 1 3 2 4
Rupsa S.
How many ATP and NADPH molecules are required in the $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ pathway to make one six-carbon sugar? If the synthesis of a molecule of ATT were to require four protons, would you expect that these relative requirements for ATP and NADPH could be met by noncyclic photophosphorylation in the absence of cyclic photophosphorylation?
Choose from the terms below: $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { (A) Oxygen }} \\ {\text { (B) Protons }} \\ {\text { (C) } \mathrm{PGAL}} \\ {\text { (D) } \mathrm{NADPH}} \\ {\text { (E) ATP }}\end{array}$$ A molecule that carries $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ from the light-dependent reactions to the Calvin cycle
