Answer 1

When 12 co2 molecules are utilized in c3 cycle number of triose phosphates exported out from the chloroplast into the cytosol for the synthesis of hexose sugars will be 4

Explanation:

1.C3 cycle refers to the dark reaction of photosynthesis. It is indirectly dependent on light and the essential energy carriers are products of light-dependent reactions. In the first stage of the Calvin cycle, the light-independent reactions are initiated and carbon dioxide is fixed.

2.The three stages are: (a) Carboxylation (b) Reduction and (c) Formation of Hexose Sugar and Regeneration of RuBP.

3.Triose phosphates are the principal product of photosynthesis. They are used within the chloroplast for starch synthesis, or translocated to the cytosol where they are used to fuel sucrose synthesis.
