Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given .
Which of the following metabolic processes can occur without a net influx of energy from some other process ?

  1. ADP $^+$ P $\rightarrow$ ATP $^+$ H2O
  2. $C _6$$H _{12}$$O _6$ $^+$ $6O _2$ $\rightarrow$ $6CO _2$ $^+$ $6H _2O$
  3. $6CO _2$ $^+$ $6H _2O$ $\rightarrow$ $C _6$$H _{12}$$O _6$ $^+$ $6H _2O$
  4. $CO _2$ + $2H _2O$ $\rightarrow$ $CH _4$ $^+$ $2O _2$

B Correct answer
Explanation
C$ _6$H$ _1$$ _2$O$6$ + 6O$2$ $\rightarrow$ 6CO$2$ +6H$2$O in this process glucose breaks down to give its hydrogens to the oxygen, it really does not need a lot of energy to begin and to keep going. It simply needs a small spark and then it can keep going until its done.
So, the correct option is 'C$ _6$H$ _{12}$O$ _6$ + 6O$ _2$ $\rightarrow$ 6CO$ _2$ +6H$ _2$O'

B Correct answer
Explanation

Weeds such as String decrease crop yields and quality by competing with crop plants for light, water and nutrients. Weeds are to be removed with the help of herbicide (weed killer). Herbicide tolerance has been developed in maize, cotton, soybean, tobacco, etc. The main aim is to reduce herbicide  accumulation in food products for health safety.
