Solution
The correct option is B 18, 12
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages- light reaction and dark reaction. In light reaction ATP and reduced coenzymes NADPH2 are synthesized, which are used in dark reaction to produce sugars. 3 ATP molecules and 2 NADPH2 molecules are required to fix one molecule of carbon dioxide in Calvin cycle. Hence, the requirement to synthesize a molecule of hexose, like glucose molecule is 18 ATP molecules and 12 NADPH2 molecules.
