The net requirement of assimilatory power for the formation of 6 hexose molecules in maize plant is
Options
- A72 ATP, 48 NADPH
- B90 ATP, 60 NADPH
- C108 ATP, 72 NADPH
- D180 ATP, 72 NADPH
Correct answer
D. 180 ATP, 72 NADPH
Step-by-step solution
plants (maize) require 30 ATP and 12 NADPH for synthesis of one hexose molecule. Therefore synthesis of six hexose molecules require 180 ATP and 72 NADPH.
