For the reaction in the plant cells
`6CO_(2)(g)+12H_(2)O(l)rarrC_(6)H_(12)O_(6)(s)+6O_(2)(g)`
`+6H_(2)O(l)Delta_(r)G^(0)=3000KJ//mol`
`ATPrarrADP+PO_(4)^(3-)Delta_(r)G^(0)=-30KJ//mol`
Glucose is stored in the plant cell as starch `(C_(6)H_(10)O_(5))_(n)` .
To produce `162g` of starch how many moles of `ATP` are minimum required?

Options

A. `100mol`
B. `10mol`
C. `20mol`
D. `200mol`

Answer

D

Explanation

Mol. Wt. of starch `=162n`
`:.` Moles of `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` to be produced `=1mol`
`:.` Moles of `ATP` required `=(3000)/(30)=100mol` .
