Answer:

The correct answer would be the second option.

Cellular respiration refers to sum total of biochemical reaction which take part in harnessing the energy from food and convert it into ATP.

The process of cellular respiration is spontaneous in nature as change in Gibbs energy is negative for overall reaction of cellular respiration.

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + energy

It can be clearly observed that glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water in presence of oxygen.

Thus, the correct answer would be second option.

Well it definitely breaks down the large glucose molecule into smaller molecules (H2O and CO2) but I'm not too sure about spontaneousness. I'd say nonspontaneous because it needs enzymes to work, even though it is exothermic...

Give the two ways nitrogen can be fixated so plants can use it to grow.

$\huge\mathfrak\red {Answer:}$

<h2>Fixation</h2>

Nitrogen in its gaseous form (N2) can’t be used by most living things. It has to be converted or ‘fixed’ to a more usable form through a process called fixation. There are three ways nitrogen can be fixed to be useful for living things:

<h3>Biologically: </h3>

Nitrogen gas (N2) diffuses into the soil from the atmosphere, and species of bacteria convert this nitrogen to ammonium ions (NH4+), which can be used by plants. Legumes (such as clover and lupins) are often grown by farmers because they have nodules on their roots that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

<h3>Through lightning: </h3>

Lightning converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and nitrate (NO3) that enter soil with rainfall.
