Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One sign that could point to the habitability of Mars is the presence of amino acids. These organic compounds aren’t biosignatures, but some of the most basic building blocks of life. Amino acids combine to form proteins, and have been found in space rocks, such as asteroid Ryugu, and the atmosphere of Comet 67P.

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite its thin atmosphere, extreme cold and low oxygen, Mars’ surface is known to contain the majority of plant essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The presence of nutrients accomplishes one of the big hurdles, but there are still more challenges.
