Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. Photophosphorylation creates ATP during the light reaction of photosynthesis.
  2. The stromal side of the thylakoid membrane is where ATP is manufactured.
  3. Light energy is absorbed and stored in the form of high-energy molecules such as ATP and NADPH.
  4. Because the produced ATP and NADPH are used in the dark reaction to produce carbohydrates, there is no net ATP gain from photosynthesis.
  5. During the six cycles of the Calvin cycle, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH molecules are used in the production of one glucose molecule.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
