A) 9 ATP and 6 NADPH
B) 3ATP and 3 NADPH
C) 6 ATP and 6 NADPH
D) 9 ATP and 36 NADPH
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
For fixation of six\[C{{O}_{2}}\]molecules during Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, 18-molecules of ATP and 12 molecules of\[NADP{{H}_{2}}\]are required. One molecule of glyceraldehyde -3 phosphate. (3-carbon molecule) is formed by fixation of \[3C{{O}_{2}}\]molecules. 9 ATP and 6 NADPH molecules are required for formation of glyceraldehyde phosphate. \[3C{{O}_{2}}+6NADPH+9ATP\] Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate +\[6NAD{{P}^{+}}9ADP+8P\]
