For assimilation of one \(CO_2\) molecule; the energy required in form of ATP & NADPH2
For assimilation of one \(CO_2\) molecule; the energy required in form of ATP & NADPH2
2 ATP & 2 NADPH2
5 ATP & 3 NADPH2
5 ATP & 3 NADPH2
18 ATP & 12 NADPH2
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For the assimilation of one CO2 molecule, the energy required in the form of ATP and NADPH2 is 5 ATP and 3 NADPH2.
So, the correct option is (C): 5 ATP & 3 NADPH2

Concepts Used:
Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Processes Of Photosynthesis in Higher Plants:
Photosynthesis in higher plants involves the following processes:
- Light Reaction
- Dark Reaction
Light Reaction:
- This phenomenon occurs in the presence of light.
- The pigment absorbs light and produces energy in the form of ATP.
- The process involves- absorption of light, water splitting, the release of oxygen, and formation of ATP and NADPH.
Dark Reaction:
This process occurs in the absence of light in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The following cycles are involved in the process:
- Calvin Cycle (C3 Cycle)
- C4 Cycle (Hatch and Slack Pathway)
