Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbohydrates, the most abundant biomolecules on earth, are produced by
A
All bacteria, fungi and algae
B
Viruses, fungi and bacteria
C
Some bacteria, algae and green plant cells
D
Fungi, algae and green plant cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of transforming light energy into carbohydrates. Bacteria such as the cyanobacteria, algae and green plants are the major producers of carbohydrates on the Earth since they all possess the green pigment chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are the products of photosynthesis, which is carried out by photosynthetic bacteria, green algae and green plant cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant cell wall provides the richest available resource of fermentable carbohydrates and biobased materials. The main component of plant cell walls is cellulose, which is the most abundant biomolecule on earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellulose, the most abundant carbohydrate on earth is main constituent of plant cell walls and provides them protection and rigidity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are the most abundant bimolecules found on the surface of the earth. This is so because every year plants and alga through the process of photosynthesis converts more than 100 billion metric tones of carbondioxide and water to cellulose and other products for use by the plants.
