ADVERTISEMENTS:
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Primary Metabolites and Secondary Metabolites.
Difference # Primary Metabolites:
1. These are biomolecules required for basic metabolic processes.
2. These are produced in generous quantities and can easily be extracted from the plant.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. These are found throughout the plant kingdom.
4. These are part of the basic molecular structure of the cell.
5. They are highly useful to plant.
6. They are found from the start of plant life.
Difference # Secondary Metabolites:
ADVERTISEMENTS:
1. These are derivatives of primary metabolites which are not involved in bast.
2. These are produced in small quantities and their extraction from the plant is difficult.
3. Particular secondary metabolites are found in one plant species or families and not all.
4. These are not part of the basic molecular structure of the cell.
5. They have limited role in plant.
6. They are found at particular stages of development.
