Sintesi

TLDRIn plants, primary metabolites are essential compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals that help form the plant's structure and support its initial growth. As plants mature, they produce secondary metabolites, also known as phytochemicals, which play crucial roles in survival. These include defense mechanisms, self-signaling, and communication between plants. Secondary metabolites are known for their bioactive properties and are vital in maintaining healthy gene expression in humans. Modern health technologies utilize these compounds to enhance metabolic health by supporting proper gene expression.

    Primary metabolites are basic compounds essential for plant growth and development, forming the plant's structure. They include proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals. Secondary metabolites, or phytochemicals, are produced as organic compounds for survival, defense, signaling, and communication within plants. They are bioactive, supporting healthy gene expression and are used in core health technologies to maintain metabolic health.
