Molecular Composition of Plant Cells: Metabolites and Macromolecule Synthesis

Chapter 2 delves into the molecular composition of plant cells, focusing on the chemical elements and various metabolites. It distinguishes between primary metabolites, which are universal in all plant cells, and secondary metabolites, which have limited distribution and are crucial for plant survival and reproduction. This chapter also discusses the synthesis and breakdown of essential macromolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, as well as the roles of amino groups, nucleic acids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and phenolics in plant biology.
