Carbohydrates, particularly in the form of glucose and other sugars, are primarily produced
through the process of photosynthesis. This is carried out by :
• Green plant cells (such as in plants and trees),
• Algae, which are photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments,
• Some bacteria, specifically those that are photosynthetic, like cyanobacteria
(often called "blue-green algae")
