Synthesis of each molecule of glucose in photosynthesis involves:

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 10 molecules of ATP
  • B 8 molecules of ATP
  • C 6 molecules of ATP
  • D 18 molecules of ATP

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

6CO2+12NADPH+18ATP6C{O_2} + 12NADPH + 18ATP + 6RuBP

                →C6H12O6+12NADP+18ADP\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \to {C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6} + 12NADP + 18ADP + 6RuBP + 18P

One molecule of glucose is formed from 6CO2 by utilising 18ATP and 12NADPH.
