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. |
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. |
