The correct answers is:
is formed when fuel is burned at high temperatures
<em>Nitrogen dioxide is another toxic gas that forms when fuels are burned at high temperatures.</em>
is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
<em>The most abundant gas is nitrogen. Over 78 percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen (N)</em>
can cause acid rain
<em>Both nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide can cause acid rain. The damage done by acid rain is devastating to the plants and animals in an ecosystem.</em>
is a major pollutant in the air
<em>AQI measures five major pollutants, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).</em>
Wrong answers:
is a waste product of photosynthesis
<em>The waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen.</em>
Besides producing sugar for itself a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradients and potassium to make enzymes.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Plant sugar is glucose and plants produce it by the process of photosynthesis making use of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere and the presence of chlorophyll in its parts. Plants also require components other than this. Nitrogen is essential to make proteins and it cannot be directly absorbed from the atmosphere but has to be absorbed from the soil.
Potassium is an essential component which is absorbed from the soil. It facilitates the activation of enzymes which play a crucial role in plant metabolism. When plants lack potassium they won’t have enough energy for proper growth and will have poorly formed roots and weak stems.
