Question

To fix 6 molatm CO2 _______ no of ATP and ______ no of NADPH are required a. 18 and 12 respectively b. 12 and 18respectively c. 3 and 1 respectively d. 18 and 10 respectively​

Answer 1

Answer:

Under ideal conditions, five ATP and two NADPH are required for every CO

2

fixed in C4 photosynthesis (two ATP are required to run the CO

2

pump, i.e., regenerate PEP). Hence, for two CO

2

, 10 ATP and 4 NADPH are required.

So, the correct option is '10 & 4'.
