Answer 2

Answer:

Van Helmont is the scientist who thinks that he has proved that plants obtain nutrients from water instead of land.

Explanation:

Van Helmont grew a willow tree in a weighed amount of earth. After five years, he discovered that the willow tree weighed about 74 kg more than it did in the beginning. As the weight of the soil had hardly changed, van Helmont concluded that plant growth may not only be due to minerals in the soil.
