Van Niel studied photosynthesis in:
Correct answer: D. Bacteria
- A. Protists
- B. Algae
- C. Fungi
- D. Bacteria
Explanation
In 1931, Van Neil studied the process of photosynthesis in bacteria, particularly sulfur bacteria and green sulfur bacteria. He was the first person to understand the science behind the process by which plants convert light into energy. He also demonstrated that the oxygen released by plants comes from the splitting of water, not carbon dioxide (Van Neil's Hypothesis).

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
