ok
i just want to specify for those who mite be confused
THIS IS REFERRING TO THE CALVIN CYCLE
at the start of each cycle, they only accept one CO2 and then that is combined with RuBP to make a 6 carbon chain and then that goes through the cycle: it is split into two 3 carbon chains and then spends two ATP and then spends two NADPH as the 3PG changes into G3P

but the IMPORTANT PART is taht two G3P result each cycle and then the cycle repeats two more times, makind 6 G3P ( a three carbon chain) and so, 5 of those 6 G3P are changed to form 3 RuBP because RuBP is a 5 carbon molecule
(5 3-carbon changed to 3 5-carbon)
from here, there is one G3P left over which is the overall product
ok i'm done

o and the book says 3 CO2 cuz they wanted to make it shorter and all at once but it is easier to see my way
