The greenhouse effect which is causing an increase in the atmospheric temperature is mainly due to
nitrogen
sulphur
carbon dioxide
oxygen
The gas which forms carboxy-hemoglobin in the blood, causing suffocation is
carbon monoxide
nitrogen
carbon dioxide
chlorofluorocarbon
A.
carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity towards haemoglobin, even higher than oxygen. It combines with haemoglobin to give carboxyhaemoglobin complex and by this prevent the supply of oxygen to the tissues. Hence, a person feels suffocation or may die for the need of oxygen in the environment of carbon-monoxide.
The gases present in atmosphere that cause greenhouse effect are
methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen
carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, methane
nitrous oxide, oxygen, water vapour
