    question. If one CO2 gives off two 3PGA, and each 3PGA makes one G3P, and out of every 6 G3P only one goes towards glucose production, that means 3 CO2s only produced 1 net G3P, right? So my question is, wouldnt that mean we need 18 CO2 to produce one glucose? Why do all textbooks say we only need 6?

  • @EpicSelenium34

    Professor, in your video you say that 1 electron is excited by the photon. However, 2 electrons from water are used to replenish chlorophyll, and it takes 2 electrons to reduce NADP+ to NADPH, so where does the other electron come from?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
