Question #1: A graduate student researching photosynthesis was able to measure the yield of glucose produced by the chloroplast. If the student's data showed a total yield of 2 glucose molecules, how many total glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules were produced by the Calvin cycle, and how many were used to regenerate RUBP?
A. 6 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates were produced, and 5 were used to regenerate RUBP.
B. 9 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates were produced, and 6 were used to regenerate RUBP.
C. 24 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates were produced, and 20 were used to regenerate RUBP.
D. 24 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates were produced, and 22 were used to regenerate RUBP.
E. 18 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates were produced, and 12 were used to regenerate RUBP.
