Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Secondary metabolites are derivatives of primary metabolites which have no direct function in growth and development of plants. These compounds are accessory rather than central to the functioning, e.g., abrin, cellulose, gums, diterpenes, carotenoids, curcumin, rubber, etc. Arginine, tyrosine, glycine, serine and phenylalanine are amino acids which are primary metabolites.
