Question

In Photosynthesis process, how many molecules of NADPH and ATP are required to reduce six molecules of carbon dioxide to glucose?​

Answer 1

Answer:

★ Photosynthesis Balanced Equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 12H2O + Light Energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

• Six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) combine with 12 molecules of water (H2O) using light energy.

• The end result is the formation of a single carbohydrate molecule (C6H12O6, or glucose) along with six molecules each of breathable oxygen and water.

★ Photosynthesis require energy input from 12 ATP molecules and 12 NADPH molecules in the reduction step and 6 ATP molecules .
