Solution

The correct option is C 16
A) 16 ATP molecules are formed when 8 molecules of water are split in noncyclic electron transport and photophosphorylation.
B) 16 molecules of ATP are formed are formed from 8 molecules of water.
C) In noncyclic electron transport and photophosphorylation, 2 ATPs are produced per water molecule split. So, for 8 molecules of water, 2 x 8 = 16 ATPs are formed.
D) 16 molecules of ATP are formed.
So the correct answer is '16'.
