Abstract
Carbohydrates are the most widely distributed and abundant organic compounds on earth. They have a central role in the metabolisms of animals and plants. Carbohydrate biosynthesis by green plants from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light energy, i.e. photosynthesis, supports the existence of all other organisms.
