Question

Enriched vitamin tablets are produced from the following organism for human

consumption.

(a) Nostoc (b) Yeast

(c) Mushroom (d) Spirulin​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (a) Nostoc

Explanation:

Nostoc, a blue-green algae or cyanobacterium, has long been used as a food source in China. Microalgae are minute organisms with photosynthetic and accessory pigments that allow them to perform photosynthesis. They are ingested as a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants, in addition to their role in nitrogen fixation.

Option D could have been correct if it was spirulina instead of spirulin as spirulina is a well-known superfood consumed, a highly rich source of proteins and vitamins.
