Discussion 5 : Photosynthesis & Biotechnology

To continue our  class discussion, please read a short article Photosynthesis discovery could help next-gen biotechnologies (https://phys.org/news/2018-09-photosynthesis-discovery-next-gen-biotechnologies.html.). 

Then answer the question below for discussion: 

 Are studies on the molecular basis of the photosynthetic process worth the investment? What specific “payoff” could we get out of these researches?

Discussion 5 : Photosynthesis & Biotechnology Answer

I believe that investing in studies on the molecular basis of photosynthesis is worthy of the money because its purpose is very futuristic. We all know how sunlight is the source of light and heat energy that almost all living things utilize. Researching on how we can maximize the process and the products we obtain from photosynthesis to sustain life such as water, food and energy will enable us to have enough for the future generation of all living things especially us human
