Carbohydrates are really any individual sugar molecule (monosaccharides) or strand of sugar molecules (polysaccharides). The monosaccharides are made by a plant cell through photosynthesis. These monosaccharides are either stored in plant starch (very small amount), used by the plant for growth and energy, or converted into cellulose, a long polysaccharide that is extremely rigid and impossible to break down without the help of specialized bacteria.
