For each intermediate compound in the Calvin cycle, identify the number of molecules of that intermediate and the total number of carbon atoms contained in those molecules. As an example, the output G3P is labeled for you: 1 molecule with a total of 3 carbon atoms. Labels may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

3 molecules of carbon dioxide with (3 * 1) = 3 carbon

6 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate with (6 * 3) = 18 carbons

6 molecules of 1,3 - Bis phosphoglycerate with (6 * 3) = 18 carbons

5 molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate with (5*3) = 15 carbons

3 molecules of Ribulose-5-phosphate with (5 * 3) = 15 carbons

3 molecules of 3 Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (5 * 3) = 15 carbons
