Jean Senebier, a French pastor, showed that CO2 was the "fixed" or "injured" air and that plants in photosynthesis took it up. Very soon afterwards, Theodore de Saussure showed that the increase in mass of the plant as it grows could not be due only to uptake of CO2, but also to the incorporation of water. So the basic reaction of photosynthesis was outlined: CO2 + H2O + light energy (CH2O)n + O2 What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a process by which organic compounds are synthesised by the reduction of carbon dioxide. The energy for this process is when a right wavelength of light hits the chlorophyll in...
