NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & BiologyJoseph Priestley (1733-1804) in 1770 performed a series of experiments that revealed the essential role of air in the growth of green plants. Priestley observed that a candle burning in a closed space – a bell jar, soon gets extinguished (Figure a, b, c, d). Similarly, a mouse would soon suffocate in a closed space. He concluded that a burning candle or an animal that breathe the air, both somehow, damage the air. But when he placed a mint plant in the same bell jar, he found that the mouse stayed alive and the candle continued to burn.
The conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments will be:
The conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments will be:
| I: | Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove. |
| II: | Sunlight is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies the air fouled by burning candles or breathing animals. |
| 1. Only I | 2. Only II |
| 3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
