Why would you take plants to mars?

If you could take plants to Mars without them dying, it would help making Mars a planet that can support an ecosystem. Plants produce Oxygen which is crucial for animal survival (this includes humans, too, because technically humans are a type of animal). If Mars could successfully support an ecosystem, we could colonize it, which would help resolve issues with overpopulation.


Could plants be planted on mars to create an oxygen atmosphere?

That's a possibility, but scientists are being extremely careful not to do that yet - because if there is any life on Mars now, it would almost certainly be wiped out if we started terraforming Mars. So we don't want to risk it until we're fairly certain that Mars has no life of its own.


Can Mars produce life?

If man were to colonize mars and terraform it (raising the temperature and creating an atmosphere, add oxygen and co2) mars could host life.


Why can't plants grow on mars?

1. The sunlight is not as strong there. 2. There is no water (found water) on Mars. 3. The air composition is different there. 4. The ground contains none of the nutrients that are necessary to grow plants. If you were an astronaut, and you brought oxygen, a strong flashlight, water and a seed with some soil you would be able to place it there and make it grow but your own oxygen tank would have run out by then, so technically, you cannot grow plants on Mars.

Well are anybody living there now???? Well are anybody living there now????

Do plants produce food when there is no oxygen?

Plants need oxygen so they will not grow if there is no oxygen. So if we travel to Mars or the moon, we will have to have to bring oxygen for our greenhouses. Plants improve air quality so we need plants when we visit other worlds.


What do plants need to live on mars?

Oxygen

Why does Mars not have fresh air?

Mars has little oxygen in its atmosphere because it has no plants to produce it via photosynthesis.


Could you move plants to Mars since plants breath carbon dioxide and wait until they make enough oxygen and move humans there?

no. Mars' surface has no liquid water, and nearly no nutrients in the soil. Also, the average day temperature is -14 degrees so no plants would be able to grow there. Also, the amount of atmospheric pressure on mars would mean breathing, even if there was oxygen would be incredibly hard


Which planet besides earth is good to survive?

None of them that we know of because they don't have oxygen. We could live on Mars if we install an artificial atmosphere and maintain millions of plants inside it to keep oxygen in.


How could humans make mars have oxygen?

We can't do it at all humans can not make oxygen!!!!!!!!!!


Is there oxygen on any other planet except earth?

Yes Mars has oxygen.


Why we need plants?

plants are in the same family as the tree.both take in carbon dioxide and give bak out oxygen,oxygen is the air that we need to breath.there are no plants on mars so there for there is no oxygen.that is why we need plants.to breath.


Could you die on Mars?

without a spacesuit and an large supply of oxygen, yes you could die without those things on mars.


Is there any possibilities of surviving of a person in mars?

If you were to just put a person on Mars, then no. There is no oxygen on Mars, and oxygen is essential to human life. However, if there were buildings which could provide the oxygen, similar to a space station, and there is plenty of food, then yes it is possible for a human to survive on Mars.


Could mars be made earth like?

Maybe with an man made area that provides oxygen and the other earth like features.
