Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(18\) molecules of \(ATP\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(18\) ATPs are involved in the formation of \(1\) glucose molecule as shown in the reaction below: \(6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+12 \mathrm{N} A D P H+18 \mathrm{ATP} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}+12 \mathrm{NADP}+18 \mathrm{ADP}\)
