The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Primary Metabolites and Secondary Metabolites. Difference # Primary Metabolites: 1. These are biomolecules required for basic metabolic processes. 2. These are produced in generous quantities and can easily be extracted from the plant. 3. These are found throughout the plant kingdom. 4. These are part of the basic molecular structure [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Anabolism and Catabolism. Difference # Anabolism: 1. It is the sum total of building up or constructive processes. 2. Anabolism produces complex materials from simpler ones. 3. It stores energy. 4. Kinetic energy is changed into potential energy. 5. Anabolism is required for growth, maintenance and storage. 6.
