Answer 1

Carbon dioxide.

It is produced by respiration in living organisms.

Answer 2

Halons, CFC, methane

The these gases cause the heat/energy of the sun to be re-radiated back onto the surface of the plant.

Answer 3

On earth, the most abundant greenhouse gases are, in order of relative abundance:

    * water vapor

    * carbon dioxide

    * methane

    * nitrous oxide

    * ozone

    * CFCs

The most important greenhouse gases are:

    * water vapor, which causes about 36–70% of the greenhouse     effect on Earth. (Note clouds typically affect climate differently from      other forms of atmospheric water.)

    * carbon dioxide, which causes 9–26%

    * methane, which causes 4–9%

    * ozone, which causes 3–7%

    Note that this is a combination of the strength of the greenhouse effect of the gas and its abundance. For example, methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, but present in much smaller concentrations.

Answer 4

For reference you can look into the list of greenhouse gases by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
