Question

For the reaction in the plant cells

6CO₂ (g)+12 H₂O (l) ¾® C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6 O₂ (g) + 6 H₂O(l)

D_rGŗ = 3000 kJ/mol

ATP ¾® ADP + $PO_{4}^{3 -}$ D_rGŗ = –30 kJ/mol

Glucose is stored in the plant cell as starch, (C₆H₁₀O₅)_n. To produce 162 gm of starch how many moles of ATP are minimum required ?

Answer 1

Mol wt of starch = 162 n

\ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ to be produced = 1 mol

\ moles of ATP required = $\frac{3000}{30}$ = 100 mol
