Jan Ingenhousz was a Dutch scientist who discovered the process of photosynthesis. He showed that plants release oxygen in the presence of sunlight and carbon dioxide, and he also demonstrated that plants need sunlight to produce energy. Ingenhousz's work laid the foundation for our understanding of how plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Who showed that plants produce oxygen when exposed to light?
Jan Ingenhousz
What was Jan ingenhousz hypothesis of photosynthesis before doing the experiment?
Plants need sunlight!
What did the experiments of van Helmont Priestley and Ingenhousz reveal about how plants grow?
Van Helmont proved that soil was not responsible for a tree's increase in mass by doing an experiment with a willow tree. He found that the tree grew by 74.4 kg without a comparable decrease in the soil's mass. Priestly discovered that plants release a gas into the air that supports combustion. Ingenhousz discovered that the plant in Priestley's experiment is depended on light and that the gas released by the plant is oxygen. Carbon dioxide was the source of carbon in plants.
