Question

Write any two differences between primary and secondary metabolites.​

Answer 1

Answer:

..........Primary -:

1) Primary metabolites are produced in large quantities.

2) Primary metabolites are produced during the growth phase of the organism.This phase of growth is also termed as ‘trophophase

3) Primary metabolites are involved in the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms.

......... Secondary -:

1) Secondary metabolites are produced in small quantities.

2) Secondary metabolites are produced during the stationary phase of the organism.This phase of growth is also termed as ‘idiophase’.

3) Secondary metabolites are involved in ecological functions and species interactions

Answer 2

Answer:

Primary Metabolite Secondary Metabolites

primary metabolites

• These are the metabolites which have identifiable functions and play a specific role in metabolism.
• These are important in human metabolic processes
• primary metabolites are directly involved in primary growth development and reproduction.
• Eg: amino acids, sugars.

Secondary Metabolites

• These are the metablites formed during metabolism whose exact function is not known.
• These are useful for human welfare
• secondary metabolites are indirectly involved in metabolisms while playing important ecological functions in the body.
• Eg: Alkaloids, flavonoids antibiotics.
