The net requirement of assimilatory power for the formation of 6 hexose molecules in maize plant is
72 ATP, 48 NADPH
90 ATP, 60 NADPH
108 ATP, 72 NADPH
180 ATP, 72 NADPH
D.
180 ATP, 72 NADPH
C4 plants (maize) require 30 ATP and 12 NADPH fpr synthesis of one hexose molecule. Therefore synthesis of six hexose molecules requires 180 ATP and 72 NADPH.

Which of the following characteristics out of I, II and III are exhibited by C4 plants?
I. Kranz anatomy.
II. The product of photosynthesis is oxalo acetic acid.
III. Both PEP carboxylase and ribulose-bis phosphate carboxylase act as carboxylating enzyme.
Choose the correct option.
