21、l use of sunlightC If humans ever hope to live on the Mars, the settlers will need to produce a series of organic compounds (有机化合物), from fuels to drugs, which are too expensive to ship from Earth.Chemists from University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley L
22、ab) have a plan for that.For the past eight years, the researchers have been working on a system combining bacteria and nanowires (细菌和纳米线) that can catch the energy of sunlight to change carbon dioxide (CO,) and water into building blocks for organic things. Nanowires are thin wires about one-hundre
23、dth the width of a human hair, used as electronic parts, and also as solar cells.“On Mars, about 96% of the atmosphere is CO2. Basically, all you need is these nanowires to take in the solar energy and pass it on to these bacteria to do the chemistry for you,” said project leader Peidong Yang, profe

Thats why this version is highly attractive.”The only other
25、 requirement, besides sunlight, is water, which on Mars is relatively more than enough in the polar ice caps and likely lies frozen underground over most of the planet, said Yang.It works like photosynthesis (光合作用), which plants naturally employ to change CO2 and water into carbon compounds, mostly
26、sugar and carbohydrates. Plants, however, have a quite low efficiency (效率), usually changing less than one-half percent of solar energy into carbon compounds. Yangs system is comparable to the plant that best changes CO2 to sugar, which is 45% efficient.28What is the function of the new biological s
