Solution:
Joseph Priestley (1770) performed experiments that revealed the essential role of air in the growth of green plants.
Jan Ingenhousz (1779) showed that sunlight is essential to the plant process and that only the green parts of the plants release oxygen.
Julius von Sachs (1854) provided evidence for the production of glucose when plants grow.
T.W. Engelmann (1843-1909) described the first action spectrum of photosynthesis, which roughly resembles the absorption spectra of chlorophyll a and b.
The correct chronological sequence is role of air release of oxygen production of glucose absorption spectra of chlorophyll a and b.
