Solution:

• Mayer found that organic matter is synthesised with the help of solar energy
• It was not until about that Julius von Sachs pro vided evidence for production of glucose when plants grow.
• Sachs found that the green parts in plants is where glucose is formed and glucose is usually stored as starch.
• Glucose is not stored in plants as it increases the osmotic pressure.
• His later studies showed that the green substance in plants (chlorophyll as we know it now) is located in special bodies (later called chloroplasts) within plant cells.
