JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2013 (Offline) - No. 8)

Synthesis of each molecule of glucose in photosynthesis involves:
10 molecules of ATP
8 molecules of ATP
6 molecules of ATP
18 molecules of ATP

Explanation

$$6C{O_2} + 12NADPH + 18ATP$$ + 6RuBP

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \to {C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6} + 12NADP + 18ADP$$ + 6RuBP + 18P

One molecule of glucose is formed from 6CO2 by utilising 18ATP and 12NADPH.
