Mars, new home or not?

The question still stands can we live in Mars? Many have asked if we can live on Mars or not? Is it gonna be our new home in the near future? People have had many theories that we have to live on Mars since our own planet, Earth is being destroyed whether it be from global warming, from what many people have theories or from something out there in the galaxy heating up and destroying Earth.

Mars has an unfriendly atmosphere to human life, it has no oxygen for us to breath in with an environment is very cold add to the fact that it has intense radiation.
Billions of years ago the red planet use to have an atmosphere and a lot of water on the north pole of Mars.

Even if we can make it to Mars, we will need to find a way to live in it. People and scientist have hypothesised that we will have to find a way to live on the red planet. We will constantly need a pressurized and heated environment, there is no breathable air like on earth and the atmosphere is very cold as well as the air has little to no pressure.
The harsh environment and the toxic land on the red planet will make it harder to grow food.
The scientist has theorised that they will be able to grow and farm food inside the many caves on Mars but they are not sure yet.

Elon Musk the founder of SpaceX, a space exploration and technology company and they have planned to build a community of 80,000 people to live in Mars and get the first human to land on the red planet by 2026 ten years earlier than NASA. The travel will be dangerous no one has been there before and the landing will need to be precise. Mars has lots of volcanic and rocky mountains they will need a clear space to land on and that is not the hardest part, getting back to earth is a much harder plan to work on.


In conclusion, we will need a self-sustaining food system and water supply to keep on living on the big red planet. The air pressure on there will be a big problem as well and oxygen will be a greatly needed supply if we can't find out a way to get oxygen on Mars.
Getting to Mars and living on it will be a big problem, lots of plans will need to be made and completing those plans will be even harder.
Summing-up all of these, Can we live in Mars or not? Well, there is still no sure answer until we try it.

What Happens To Food

Ingestion - It is when a food enters your body via the mouth

Teeth Type - Molar is usually found at the back-side of your mouth. They are flat surface teeth and there are lots of them. Molars are usually found in the mouth of herbivores because they mostly eat grass which needs to be crush and grinded. 

                   - Incisor is a tooth that is found on the front of the mouth they look like chisels and functions like one, it cuts grass, and it is mostly found in herbivores.

                   - Canines are found on carnivores they are used for ripping the meat out of animals or holding them down so the predators can disable them one, for example, is a tiger. It is a pointed tooth between the incisor and the molar and can be found in humans. It is also called the eye teeth.

Digestion - It is when food 

Oesophagus - After the food is chewed it is turned into a bolus, a Latin word for ball, it is swallowed and go through the oesophagus and by the move called peristalsis a wave-like motion moves the food down the oesophagus to the stomach. 

Stomach - After the ball of food went through your oesophagus it moves down the stomach it is a large plastic bag that can enlarge that can hold up litres of food. There is an acid in your stomach called Hydrochoric acid. It is really dangerous and a really low pH level, 1-2, the reason for the acid there is to dissolve food and kills germs that enter the body because of food.

Small Intestine - The small intestine is located between the stomach and the large intestine. The pH level in the intestine is usually between 7-9, neutral with a slight of alkaline, this is the part of your digestive system where the absorption of nutrients takes place. All the proteins, carbohydrates and lipids have been broken down into small soluble molecules and can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Muscular walls of the intestines - The muscular walls of the small intestines helps food move along via peristalsis the action of waving like motion.

Villi and microvilli and thin walls of a villus- A villus is a finger-like projection in the inner wall of the small intestines and a microvillus covers the surface of the villi. These can increase the rate of absorption. The thin walls of a villus help ensure the rapid absorption into the bloodstream.
