Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

NOT AVAILABLE

Many plants produce nitrogen containing secondary metabolites such as alkaloids that function as defenses against herbivores, especially mammals, because of their general toxicity and deterrence capability. These chemical defenses can act as repellents or toxins to herbivores, or reduce plant digestibility. Anti-nutritional compounds are not the example of primary or secondary metabolites.
