  1. Homosphere

  2. Thermosphere

  3. Heterosphere

  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

The part of the atmosphere which contains constant gases with a known composition called homo-sphere.

The homosphere is the lower of the two and the location in which turbulent mixing dominates the molecular diffusion of gases. In this region, which occurs below 100 km (about 60 miles) or so, the composition of the atmosphere tends to be independent of height.

Multiple choice chemistry water and air and their importance importance of oxygen is air present everywhere around us? air as a natural resource

To increase the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere :

  1. plant more trees

  2. kill all living beings

  3. cut down trees

  4. protect animal life
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Planting more trees directly increases the oxygen amount by the process of photosynthesis which in turn increases the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Hence the option A is correct.

Plant consume ________ to make their own food.

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Plant consume carbon dioxide, water and other nutrients to make their own food.


The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colours the leaves green. 


Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.


Hence the option B is correct.

Which of the following is incorrect regarding oxygen?

  1. Solid oxygen is blue.

  2. Oxygen gas is odorless.

  3. Oxygen is non-toxic.

  4. Liquid and solid oxygen are paramagnetic.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Solid oxygen is a clear substance with a light sky-blue colour. Oxygen gas is a colourless gas without taste or odour. Oxygen toxicity is a condition that results from the harmful effects of breathing molecular oxygen $(O _2)$ at elevated partial pressures. This causes hyperoxia, an excess of oxygen in body tissues.

Something that is paramagnetic means that it is weakly attracted to the poles of a magnetic field but it itself does not retain any magnetic properties once it is beyond that magnetic field. Oxygen, no matter what its state, is paramagnetic.In solid and liquid oxygen, the magnetic effect is measurable but in a gas, the molecules of oxygen possess ample energy of motion to overcome the weak magnetic influence.

Which of the following plays a very important role in the oxygen cycle?

  1. Birds

  2. Animals

  3. Plants

  4. Soil
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Plants plays a very important role in the oxygen cycle as plants create the majority of oxygen we breathe through the process of photosynthesis. In this process plants use $CO _2,$ sunlight and water to create energy. In this process they also create oxygen which they release into the air.

Plants also consumes ________ for respiration.

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Oxygen

  3. Nitrogen

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Plants also consume oxygen for respiration.


At night, when photosynthesis can’t take place, plants continue to consume oxygen but they don’t release any back into the atmosphere.


As the amount of oxygen consumes by the plants is very low during respiration so it doesn't effect the oxygen levels of the atmosphere.


Hence the correct option is B.
