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.

How many turns of the calvin cycle are needed to produce a molecule of pgal how many molcules of atp and nadph are used in the process?
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.
What part the photosynthetic cycle produces glucose and ADP?
Calvin cycle (apex)
Why does it take six cycles of the stromal reactions to produce one molecule of glucose?
Because glucose has 6 carbons and one carbon is incorporated with each turn of the Calvin-Benson cycle.
What is the Calvin cycle?
The Calvin cycle is the dark reaction in plants, that results in formation of the glucose molecule. The Calvin Cycle synthesizes G3P Basically, Photosynthesis is divided up into the Light reactions and the Calvin Cycle. The "photo" part is the light reaction part, and the "synthesis" is the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle's whole existence is to produce sugar. It does this with incorporating CO2 to eventually produce G3P, a sugar that can go on to make glucose etc... The Calvin cycle is powered by NADPH and ATP, which come from the light reactions. Of course this is a simplified version, as there are a number of intermediate molecules, but the idea is the same.For more info I would recommend reading Campbell and Reece (6th ed, 2005)
What molecule is the source of basic material used for the production of glucose in the Calvin or light independent cycle of photosynthesis?
Mainly the molecules used in the Calvin Cycle are from the light reactions prior to it, and therefore, the ATP energy made in the light reaction fuels the Dark Reaction which will eventually form Glucose
How many times must the Calvin cycle turn for the plant cell to be able to produce molecule of glucose?
six

During the Calvin cycle many carbon-based molecules are rearranged What molecule is made as a result of these reactions?
glucose
What will most likely happens to a plant that does not receive enough sunlight?
the Calvin cycle will produce less glucose
What molecule from the air is broken down from the Calvin cycle?
carbon dioxide is converted into glucose carbon fixation
What part the photosynthetic cycle produces glucose and ADP?
Calvin cycle (apex)
What end product of the Calvin beson cycle is used to make glucose and other sugars?
It takes three rounds of the Calvin cycle to fix three carbon molecules into glucose, therefore at the end of three Calvin cycles there are 9 ADP's produced, 3 NADH+'s produced and one glucose molecule.
Which is the product in the Calvin cycle?
Glucose is a product of the Calvin cycle. However, other sugars can be produced in the cycle, and ADP and NADP+ are also produced from the formation of glucose.

What is glucose produced from in the Calivn Cycle?
Yes you are correct.it is making in the calvin cycle.
What happenes during the Calvin benson cycle or dark reaction?
the final product of the calvin benson cycle used to produce glucose is?
What cycle ends in the formation of glucose?
Calvin-Benson cycle
