Solution

Number of ATP molecule produce in photosynthesis in light reaction

12 H2O + 12 NADP + 18 ADP   16 CO2 + 12 NADPH + 18 ATP

Ans. 18 ATP produce to make one glucose

Here

NADP = Nicotimine Adinosine Diphosphate

ADP = Adinosine Diphosphate

NADPH = Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
