Abstract
Photosynthesis is a fundamental process on the Earth’s surface that can convert the sunlight energy to chemical energy that can be used by essentially all forms all life (Komissarov 2003; Krauß 2003). The outstanding English chemist Joseph Priestley in 1771 and 1772 firstly hypothesised on photosynthesis that plants can restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove. Jan Ingenhousz in 1779 showed that light is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies air fouled by candles or animals. Based on the experiments, he concluded that plants are dependent on light and their green parts for nutrients and energy.
