Single Choice

Synthesis of each molecule of glucose in photosynthesis involves:

A$$10$$ molecules of ATP
B$$8$$ molecules of ATP
C$$6$$ molecules of ATP
D$$18$$ molecules of ATP
Correct Answer

Solution

$$12H_{2}O+12NADP+18ADP\xrightarrow[]{Light reaction}6O_{2}+18ATP+12 NADPH $$
$$
6CO_{2}+12NADPH+18\ ATP \xrightarrow[]{Dark reaction}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+12NADP+18ADP+6H_{2}O
$$
Net reaction: $$6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}$$
