6 cycles are required if you consider or start from 1 CO2 , but 2 cycles if you start from 3 CO2 .
No- the light reactions produce oxygen, and no carbon compounds. The dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) produce 3- and 5-carbon intermediates, and 6-carbon sugars.
electron transport chain produces most of the ATP
I'm pretty sure that it takes 2 PGAL's to make 1 glucose . It takes 6 turns of the Calvin cycle since 3 turns give you 1 PGAL.
One turn of the Calvin cycle requires 3 ATP with an addition of 2 NADPH. However, to produce 1 glucose molecule requires 6 turns of the Calvin cycle. 3 ATP per turn X 6 turns = 18 ATP Total 2 NADPH per turn X 6 turns = 12 NADPH Total Reference: Biochemistry, A short course by Tymoczko, Berg, Stryer.

ADP, PO4, NADP+, and two 3 carbon sugars because the 3 carbon sugars are unstable by themselves they bond together to form a 6 carbon sugar(glucose) after the Calvin cycle

Six. (The info below is taken directly from the Wikipedia article on the Calvin cycle. The immediate products of ONE turn of the Calvin cycle are: 2 x glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules 3 x ADP 2 x 2 NADP+ (ADP and NADP+ are regenerated in the light-dependent reactions). Each G3P molecule is composed of 3 carbons. In order for the Calvin cycle to continue, RuBP (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate) must be regenerated. So, 5 of the 6 carbons from the 2 G3P molecules are used for this purpose. Therefore, there is only 1 net carbon produced to play with for each turn. To create 1 extra G3P requires 3 carbons, and therefore 3 turns of the Calvin cycle. To make one glucose molecule (which can be created from 2 G3P molecules) would require 6 turns of the Calvin cycle. Surplus G3P can also be used to form other carbohydrates such as starch, sucrose, and cellulose depending on what the plant needs.

"GALP" in the Calvin Cycle is responsible for the formation of Glucose and RuBP. Glucose is one of the two products of photosynthesis and is important for the survival of the organism. RuBP is a 5-carbon compound that starts the whole Calvin Cycle. Without the presence of GALP, the RuBP will not be able to from and therefore the Calvin Cycle would stop entirely, dramatically reducing glucose levels within the plant (and not replenishing used Glucose), so less aerobic respiration takes place, causing the plant to die. 1/6 of GALP formed is responsible for forming Glucose, whereas 5/6 of GALP molecules produced are responsible for RuBP formation - it's more important to keep the Calvin Cycle going than to supply large amounts of Glucose to the plant.
