A primary metabolite is a kind of metabolite that is directly involved in normal growth, development, and reproduction. It usually performs a physiological...

use primary metabolites as precursors, such as actinomycin, which is created from the primary metabolite tryptophan. Some sugars are metabolites, such...

specialized metabolites are often unique to specific species, whereas primary metabolites are commonly found across multiple kingdoms. Secondary metabolites are...

Secondary metabolites, also called specialised metabolites or secondary products, are a type of natural product (organic compounds produced by living organisms)...

sites are not required throughout the organism. As atropine is not a primary metabolite, it does not interact specifically with any part of the organism,...

Examples of secondary metabolites include antibiotics, pigments and scents. The opposite of secondary metabolites are primary metabolites, which are considered...
