Meaning The metabolism products that are produced during the growth phase of an organisms in order to perform the physiological functions and supports in overall development of the cell are called primary metabolites. The end products of primary metabolism that are synthesized after the growth phase has been completed and are important in ecological and other activities of the cell are known as secondary metabolites.
Also known as Trophophase. Idiophase.
It occurs at the Growth phase. Stationary phase.
Production These are produced in large quantities, and their extraction is easy. These are produced in small quantities, and their extraction is difficult.
Occurrence Same in every species, which means they produce the same products. Varies in different species.
Importance 1.These products are used in industries for various purpose.
2. Primary products play the significant role in the cell growth, reproduction and development. 1.Secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, gibberellins are also important.
2. They also indirectly support the cell, in sustaining their life for long duration.
Examples Vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are some of the examples. Phenolics, steroids, essential oils, alkaloids, steroids are few examples.
