Answer 1

Answer:

Spirulina is a cyanobacterium, that can be consumed by humans and other animals. It is used as a dietary supplement as well as a whole food and is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals etc.

It has been calculated that a 250 kg cow produces 200 g of protein per day. In the same period, 250 gm of a micro-organism like Methylophilus, methylotrophus, because of its high rate of biomass production and growth, can be expected to produce 25 tonnes of proteins.

Rice is rich in starch (carbohydrates).

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
