Question:
$\text{Green plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and return oxygen to the atmosphere. Even then carbon dioxide is considered to be responsible for greenhouse effect:}$ $1. \text{ Due to an increase in atmospheric temperature.}$ $2. \text{ Due to ozone depletion.}$ $3. \text{ Due to decrease in atmospheric temperature.}$ $4. \text{ Due to an increase in chlorophyll concentration.}$
Options:
-
1. $\text{Due to an increase in atmospheric temperature.}$
-
2. $\text{Due to ozone depletion.}$
-
3. $\text{Due to decrease in atmospheric temperature.}$
-
4. $\text{Due to an increase in chlorophyll concentration.}$
Solution:
$\text{HINT : CO}_2 \text{ increases atmospheric temperature.}$ $\text{Explanation:}$ $\text{CO}_2 \text{ forms about 0.033 \% by volume of atmosphere. It helps to maintain the temperature of the earth required for living organisms.}$ $\text{A balance of CO}_2 \text{ is maintained in air because CO}_2 \text{ is produced from respiration, burning of fossil fuels and decomposition of limestone but at the same time, it is consumed in photosynthesis by plants.}$ $\text{However, human activities have disturbed this balance and CO}_2 \text{ level in atmosphere is in increasing order. This has happened due to deforestation, burning of more fossil fuel and industrialisation.}$ $\text{It has been estimated that CO}_2 \text{ concentration has risen about 25\% in the past century.}$ $\text{During the past nearly 120 years, the average temperature of the planet has increased by somewhere between 0.4}^\circ\text{C to 0.8}^\circ\text{C.}$ $\text{Current estimated are that doubling the CO}_2 \text{ concentration will result in a temperature increase of between 1.0}^\circ\text{C and 3.5}^\circ\text{C.}$ $\text{In greenhouse effect, contribution of CO}_2 \text{ is 50\% and of other trace gases is also about 50\%.}$
