Why do astronauts take plants and animals into space?
Some space travelers take animals and plants into space for scientific research. They can test to see gravity changes, how they adjust to zero gravity, and more. Animals are helpful in space because animals can sense if danger is coming. If the animals started acting weirdly, that would be a sign to prepare for an emergency. I hope this helped the asker! -A sixth grader
What two things produced by plants would be important to keep astronauts alive on a long jouney to Mars?

Hydroponics works about 20-30% better than plants soil growing with less problems. Plants grown in water are less likely to have pest problems.
What are some ways plants may change?
Plants change through a phenomenon called a tropism. Some examples include a positive phototropism (growing toward a light source) and a negative gravitropism (growing upward, against gravity).
What is the effect that zero gravity has on the growth of plants?
Seeds would not be able to root in soil, so the plant would not be able to germinate, or begin growing.
How are plants growing on the dunes different than the plants growing in the forest?
there not.
What happens to a plant when the direction of gravity changes?
Most plants grow up, or away from gravity. Even vining plants will first grow upwards before they grow too long and start to vine. So, if a plant were subjected to a change in gravity...say, hung from an upside down pot...it would change it's growth direction to again grow away from gravity, growing upwards.
