The correct Answer is:
To determine which group of organisms produces carbohydrates, we need to analyze the options provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Carbohydrates**: - Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules on Earth. They include substances like cellulose, starch, glycogen, glucose, and fructose. - They are primarily produced through the process of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide (CO2) is reduced using light energy. 2. **Identifying Photosynthetic Organisms**: - The main producers of carbohydrates are organisms that can perform photosynthesis. This includes: - **Green Plants**: They are well-known for photosynthesis, converting CO2 and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. - **Algae**: Similar to plants, many algae can also photosynthesize and produce carbohydrates. - **Certain Bacteria**: Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are capable of photosynthesis and contribute to carbohydrate production. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: Some bacteria, algae, and green plant cells. - This option includes organisms that can produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis. - **Option B**: Fungi, algae, and green plant cells. - Fungi do not perform photosynthesis; they obtain nutrients through absorption. - **Option C**: All bacteria, fungi, and algae. - Not all bacteria and fungi can produce carbohydrates; fungi cannot photosynthesize. - **Option D**: Viruses, fungi, and algae. - Viruses do not produce carbohydrates, and fungi cannot photosynthesize. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **(a) some bacteria, algae, and green plant cells**. This option includes organisms that are capable of producing carbohydrates through photosynthesis. ### Final Answer: **(a) some bacteria, algae, and green plant cells**
