3. Calculate the energy cost of the Calvin
cycle combined with glycolysis and oxidative
phosphorylation, that is, the ratio of the
energy spent synthesizing starch from CO2
and photosynthetically produced NADPH and
ATP to the energy generated by the complete
oxidation of starch. Assume that each NADPH
is energetically equivalent to 2.5 ATP and that
starch biosynthesis and breakdown are
mechanistically identical to glycogen
synthesis and breakdown.
