Joseph Priestly observed that a candle alone in a jar did not stay lit for long.

Priestly observed that adding a plant to the jar caused the candle to stay lit longer.

Priestly inferred that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis, providing the oxygen needed for the candle to burn.

Priestly inferred that the burning candle gave off carbon dioxide, which was used by the plant.

Joseph Priestley is an 18th century natural philosopher who is famous in his experiments in electricity, air, optics and soda water. His works are qualitative rather than quantitative because he does not concern himself with theories but practical applications.
His experiment in electricity through replication of other experiments lead to the publication of his book known as History of Electricity. He observed that electricity conducts through certain materials like coal and that electricity flow from conductors to non-conductors.With this experiments he concluded that conductivity is related to chemical property.
Another experiment that lead to a famous discovery is placing a mice in closed container with mercuric oxide. He concluded that the mice survived sometime because of common air-oxygen. He then  relate oxygen in respiration and its use in the blood.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this change of conditions also change the analysis of the situation because the analysis is related to the environmental conditions. When the environmental condition for an organisms changed so it also change its presence in that environment. If there is plenty of resources such as water, food and space for living, the population of that organism will be higher in that region while on the other hand, if this organisms is moved to a place where the resources such as water, food and space is scarce then it will leads to decrease in population of that organisms so we can say that change in conditions also bring change in our analysis.

What type of fossil preserves delicate details of an organism after pressure squeezes out liquids and gases?
pickupchik [31]

Carbon film fossil is the type of fossil that preserves delicate details of an organism after pressure squeezes out liquids and gases.

Carbon film fossil is a type of fossil that is mainly composed of carbon and can preserve delicate details of organism’s (animal and plants) parts. The formation of carbon film fossil starts when a dead organism is buried under sediments. After some time, the organism will begin to decay in a process known as carbonization. Pressure will squeeze out liquids and gases from the dead organism, leaving behind a layer of carbon. Carbon film fossils usually appear black or brown in colour.

Why are chloroplasts absent in epidermal cells ?
const2013 [10]
<em>the function of epidermis is to protect the leaf
make it air tight 
prevent water loss as it is waxy
also it is transparent and allows all light to enter...
   chloroplast is required for carrying out process of photosynthesis...
    as epidermis is not specialized to carry out photosynthesis... so it does not have any chloroplast...</em>
