Q. The concentration of $CO_{2}$ in atmosphere is between

A) 0.03-0.04%
B) 300-400 ppm
C) 400-600 ppm
D) Either (a) or (b)
Explanation

Carbon dioxide is the major limiting factor for photosynthesis. The concentration of $CO_{2}$ is very low in the atmosphere (Between 0.03 to 0.04% or 300-400 ppm). Increase in concentration up to 0.05% can cause an increase in $CO_{2}$ fixation rates. Beyond this, the levels can become damaging over longer periods
