Answer:

360 ATP and 240 NADPH

Step-by-step explanation:

For the synthesis of one glucose molecule, 6 Calvin cycles are necessary and a total of 18 ATP and 12 NADPH are consumed in the process. Therefore, for synthesis of 20 glucose molecules, 120 (6x20) Calvin cycles are necessary and a total of 360 (18x20) ATP and 240 (12x20) NADPH are consumed in the process.
