Question
What is vital force theory?
Solution
Vital Force Theory is a theory made by the scientist Berzelius in 1809, which assumed that organic substances such as sugar, starch, protein, and vitamins were assumed to be acquired naturally from plants and animals and could not be synthesised in laboratories. The theory of vital force refers to the force that organic substances generate.
