Question

for synthesis of glucose molecule number of ATP required
​a ​9 ATP for C3 cycle and 24 ATP for C4 cycle
b ​18 ATP for C3 cycle and 30 ATP for C4 cycle
​c ​22 ATP for C3 cycle and 35 ATP for C4 cycle
d ​24 ATP for C3 cycle and 36 ATP for C4 cycle

Answer 1

Dear student,
Answer is b). 18 ATP for C3 cycle and 30 ATP for C4 cycle
C4 pathway requires 30 molecules of ATP, whereas C3 pathway requires only 18 of ATP for the synthesis of one molecule of glucose.
