A) 12 and 18
B) 18 and 12
C) 6 and 12
D) 18 and 18
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
During photosynthesis one Calvin cycle takes in only one carbon (as\[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]) at a time so it takes six turns of the cycle to produce six carbon compound (glucose). For formation of one molecule of hexose sugar (glucose) 18 ATP and \[\text{12}\,\text{NADP}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\]are used whereas 30 ATP and \[\text{12}\,\text{NADP}{{\text{H}}_{2}}\]are used during \[{{\text{C}}_{\text{4}}}\] cycle. -These ATP and \[\text{NADP}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\](assimilatory power) are produced during light reaction of photosynthesis.
