Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) in 1770 performed a series of experiments that revealed the essential role of air in the growth of green plants. Priestley observed that a candle burning in a closed space – a bell jar, soon gets extinguished (Figure a, b, c, d). Similarly, a mouse would soon suffocate in a closed space. He concluded that a burning candle or an animal that breathe the air, both somehow, damage the air. But when he placed a mint plant in the same bell jar, he found that the mouse stayed alive and the candle continued to burn.
The conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments will be:
The conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments will be:
| I: | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove. |
| II: | Sunlight is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies the air fouled by burning candles or breathing animals. |
| 1. Only I | 2. Only II |
| 3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |

The diagram shows the famous Engelmann experiment that helped us understand important aspects of the process of photosynthesis. What conclusion can be drawn by the pattern of accumulation of aerobic bacteria shown in the diagram?
| 1. | Excess carbon dioxide is released by the alga in the area of accumulation. |
| 2. | Only red and violet lights are effective for photosynthesis. |
| 3. | In the areas of accumulation, most oxygen was liberated by the alga. |
| 4. | Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light. |

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 |
