Answer:
Terpenoids and terpenes (acylglycerol) are both organic substances. Terpenoids are modified terpenes having varied functional and oxidized methyl groups, whereas terpenes are just hydrocarbons.
Explanation:
- Hemiterpenes, monoterpenes, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other terpenes are different from terpenoids, which also include hemiterpenoids, monoterpenoids, diterpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids.
- Terpenoids and terpenes are both organic substances.
- Terpenoids are modified terpenes having varied functional and oxidized methyl groups, whereas terpenes are just hydrocarbons.
- Secondary metabolites are created by the enzymatic resection of primary metabolites (such as amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc.).
- The majority of secondary metabolites are terpenes, which are composed of variously connected units of the five-carbon isoprene ring.
- Terpenoids are a modified family of terpenes with different functional groups and a relocated or removed oxidized methyl group, whereas terpenes are simple hydrocarbons.
- The essential oils of numerous plants and flowers contain large amounts of terpenes and terpenoids. These essential oils are frequently employed in the production of traditional medicines and perfumes.
