Photosynthesis on Mars
Photosynthesis on Earth represents an efficient way of converting solar to chemical energy on a large scale. However, photosynthetic output depends on variables such as atmospheric composition and amount of accessible sunlight. In this section we offer an estimate of the usefulness of photosynthesis on Mars by evaluating several environmental conditions.
