C. B. van Niel proved that:

1. Plants produce glucose when they grow.
2. Blue and red light are effective for photosynthesis.
3. It is only the green parts of the plants that could release oxygen.
4. Hydrogen from a suitable oxidizable compound reduces carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.

The correct and complete equation for the process of photosynthesis in higher plants will be:
1. 6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O
2. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3. CO2 + H2O + light energy → [CH2O] + O2
4. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
