Answer» Correct Answer - A The energy balance of photosynthesis is: `6CO_(2) + 12H_(2)O overset("light")(to) C_(6)H_(12)O_(6) + 6CO_(2) + 6H_(2)O` which represents a storage of 686,000 calories per mole. This energy is provided by a total of 12 NADPH and 18 ATP molecules, which represent 750,000 calories. The efficiency reached by the PCR cycle is thus as high as `90% (686//750xx100 = 90%)`. |
