Photosynthesis is the process that green plants use to harness the energy of the Sun. Plants use the Sun's energy to turn Carbon Dioxide and water into useful sugars. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Jan Baptist van Helmont was the first to study the effects of photosynthesis in the 1600s, while important research on many of it's attributes was continued by many scientists since then, including Joseph Priestley, Jean Senebier, Cornelius Van Niel, and Robert hill to name a few.

Which photosystem is used first in photosynthesis?
Photosystem 2 happens in photosynthesis before photosystem 1. However they are numbered in order of how they were discovered. Photosystem 1 was discovered before photosystem 2. In photosynthesis the order of them is 2 then 1. meaning that photosystem 1 was discovered 1st but photosystem 2 happens 1st in photosynthesis
Who discovered plants react to sunlight understanding of photosynthesis is formed?
no
Who discovered the word photosynthesis?
The word wasn't "discovered", it was coined from Greek: photo for light and synthesis to make. So, making something from light.
Melvin Calvin photosynthesis contributed?
in the 1930's he discovered that plants took in carbon dioxide and water and they released oxygen
Who discovered photosynthesis?
Jan Baptista van Helmont, a Flemish chemist, physiologist, and physician, discovered the beginnings of photosynthesis. He performed a biological experiment on a willow tree in 1643. He carefully measured the mass of the soil used by a plant and the mass of the plant as it grew. After noticing that the soil mass changed very little, he hypothesized that the mass of the growing plant must come from the water, the only substance he added to the potted plant. Although some of the steps in photosynthesis are still not completely understood, the overall photosynthetic equation has been known since the 19th century.

Who is the English chemist who discovered that green plants produces oxygen during photosynthesis?
Joseph Priestley (right) found that plants could "restore ... In other words, he discovered that plants produce oxygen.
Why and how did Melvin Calvin research considered important and how did it impact society?
he discovered photosynthesis and how plants get energy from the sun to make food and sugars
Who discovered planted need light?
Priestly, and Melvin Calvin! Look it up if you need to know who invented photosynthesis! I hope this helps!
Who is the dark reaction named for?
The dark reaction of photosynthesis is named after Melvin Calvin who discovered it, hence the other name for it, The Calvin Cycle.
