Regarding early experiments that unveiled the process of photosynthesis, which of the following statements are accurate?
a. Joseph Priestley’s experiments in 1770 revealed the essential role of air in the growth of green plants.
b. Priestley concluded that a burning candle or a breathing animal, in some way, damages the air.
c. Using a similar setup, Jan Ingenhousz showed that sunlight is essential for the plant process that purifies the air.
d. Ingenhousz identified the bubbles formed around the green parts of an aquatic plant in sunlight as oxygen.
e. Priestley was the first to show that only the green parts of the plants could release oxygen.
f. Julius von Sachs (1854) provided evidence that glucose is produced when plants grow and is typically stored as protein.
g. Sachs found that the green substance (chlorophyll) is located in special bodies later called chloroplasts.
