C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false
D) If both the assertion and reason are false
E) If the assertion is false but reason is true
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The energy balance of photosynthesis is : \[6C{{O}_{2}}+12{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{l\text{ight}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6C{{O}_{2}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\] which represents a storage of 686,000 calories per mole. This energy is provided by a total of 12 NADPH and 18 ATP molecules, which represent 750,000 calories. The efficiency reached by the PCR cycle is thus as high as\[90%(686/750\times 100=90%)\].You need to login to perform this action.
