What things are needed to run a greenhouse?

I have a picture of an empty greenhouse and I must fill it in with pictures and explanations of the things needed to run it. Can someone help me by suggesting things I need and their uses. For example an ac heating system, I know one is needed but I don’t exactly know how to explain what it would do. The same goes for solar panels, I know they could help power the greenhouse, but I can I explain that in a more comprehensible way?

A gas heating system is useful as, as well as providing warmth it also provides carbon dioxide for the plants.

What is a greenhouse gas and what is the greenhouse effect?

Also, could you please list the most abundant types of greenhouse gases. Thank you.
a greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs Infra red energy that is reflected from the earths surface. the radiation causes the bonds in the molecule such as CO2 to vibrate and release energy in the form of heat. this cause heat to [...]

What is the greenhouse effect? What energy-producing chemical reactions might contribute to it?

What is the carbon cycle and what does it have to do with energy and the greenhouse effect?

Green house effect:-The greenhouse effect is the process in which the emission of infrared radiation by the atmosphere warms a planet’s surface. The name comes from an incorrect analogy with the warming of air inside a greenhouse compared to the air outside the greenhouse. The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.[1]

The Earth’s average surface temperature of 15 °C (59 °F) is about 33 °C (59 °F) warmer than it would be without the greenhouse effect.[2] Global warming, a recent warming of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In addition to the Earth, Mars and Venus have greenhouse effects.The Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of radiation. Most of the energy is in visible wavelengths and in infrared wavelengths that are near the visible range (often called "near infrared"). The Earth reflects about 30% of the incoming solar radiation. The remaining 70% is absorbed, warming the land, atmosphere and oceans.
