1. Explain 1 - 2 biological benefits that photosynthetic plants aboard the ship could provide to the crew. 2. Suggest 2 - 3 important considerations and/or measures that the crew should take to ensure the plants' ability to survive and photosynthesize. Justify your ideas by explaining why they are necessary.

First, one benefit is that the plants can be consumed as food. Secondly, plants can metabolize carbon dioxide in the air to produce oxygen.

One measure that the crew should take is if there is enough Sunlight. The process cannot work without energy input, and this comes from the sun. Another is water, water is a key factor in the process of photosynthesis. Without it the plant wouldn't be able to produce the glucose it needs and neither would it produce oxygen. Carbon Dioxide is also a key factor in the process o photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water into food compounds, such as glucose, and oxygen.
