Terpenoids - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Plant Metabolites: Primary vs. Secondary & Their Biological Functions

Primary metabolites are crucial for plant survival, including sugars and amino acids, while secondary metabolites, like tannins, terpenoids, and flavonoids, play diverse roles such as protection from pathogens, pigmentation, and health benefits. Tannins offer antiviral and antibacterial effects, ter
