Revolt · Accepted Answer

photosystem I

Question 5

What did you include in your response?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Joseph Priestly observed that a candle alone in a jar did not stay lit for long.; Priestly observed that adding a plant to the jar caused the candle to stay lit longer.; Priestly inferred that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis, providing the oxygen needed for the candle to burn.; Priestly inferred that the burning candle gave off carbon dioxide, which was used by the plant.
