Answer:
D
Solution:
In plants, carbohydrates/glucose synthesis takes place by C3and C4pathways. C3pathway takes place in dicots like tomato and requires 18 ATP molecules. C4pathway takes place in monocots like maize and requires 30 ATP molecules. Hence, for two molecules of hexose 24 ATP is required.
