- ATwo
- BSix
- CTwelve
- DZero
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Equation for C4 pathway is :
6 PEP + 6 RuBP + 6CO2 + 30 ATP + 12
NADPH + 6PEP + 6 RuBP + C6H12O6 + 30
ADP + 30 H3PO4 + 12 NADP +
The net reaction of C3 dark fixation is
6RuBP + 6CO2 + 18ATP + 12 NADPH 6
RuBP + C6H12O6 + 18 ADP + 18 P + 12
NADP +
