What to Focus On

  • Atmosphere has five layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere.
  • Nitrogen (78.9%) and oxygen (20.94%) are the major components of air.
  • CO₂ makes up 0.035% of air by volume.
  • Photosynthesis converts CO₂ and H₂O into glucose and O₂ using sunlight.
  • Respiration breaks down glucose to release energy, CO₂, and H₂O.
  • Decay of dead organisms by bacteria and fungi releases CO₂.
  • Carbon moves between the atmosphere, organisms, and Earth through natural processes.
  • Photosynthesis removes CO₂ from the atmosphere.
  • Respiration and decay return CO₂ to the atmosphere.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

CO₂ is the main cause of acid rain because it makes water acidic.

Ozone layer depletion and global warming are the same thing.

All air pollutants are man-made.

Memory Tips

Composition of Air: Major gases are Nitrogen (78%) and Oxygen (21%)

Layers of the Atmosphere: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

Photosynthesis: CO₂ + H₂O → Glucose + O₂ (in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll)

Respiration: Glucose + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + Energy (ATP)
