What was neil contribution to photosynthesis |
| Answer» van Niel, C. B.\xa0Cornelis Bernardus van Niel\xa0was a Dutch microbiologist whose experiments with bacteria helped explain how photosynthesis occurs in plants. Sulfur bacteria particularly interested van Niel, because there was a controversy in the early 1900s concerning the bacteria.\xa0Jan Baptista\xa0van Helmont\xa0(1580-1644) partially discovered the process of\xa0photosynthesis. He grew a willow tree in a weighed amount of soil. ... As the weight of the soil had hardly changed,\xa0van Helmont\xa0concluded that plant growth cannot only be due to minerals from the soil.\xa0Photosynthesis was partially discovered in the 1600\'s by\xa0Jan Baptista van Helmont, a Belgian chemist, physiologist and physician. | |
