今天人类所吃的食物都是直接或间接地来自光合作用;所用的燃料,如煤等,也是来自远古的光合作用。从光合作用发现以来,人们一直期望能模拟光合作用以造福于人类。因此,模拟光合作用就成为研究光合作用的主要目的之一,当然其意义将不局限于人工合成食物,其成果还将有助于对植物光合作用机理和生命起源的研究;也有助于对其它星球上生命存在与否的探索工作。 The food humans eat today is directly or indirectly from photosynthesis; the fuels used, such as coal, also come from ancient photosynthesis. Since the discovery of photosynthesis, people have been expecting to simulate photosynthesis for the benefit of human beings. Therefore, the simulation of photosynthesis has become one of the main objectives of the study of photosynthesis, of course, its significance will not be limited to synthetic foods, the results will also help to plant photosynthesis mechanism and the origin of life research; but also to other The existence of life on the planet exploration work.
