Detailed explanation-1: -The materials which do not require for normal growth and development are secondary metabolites. e.g.: Alkaloids, Tannins, Resins, Gums, and Latex etc. Though plants produce these chemicals for their own use.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Amino acids and glucose are not secondary metabolites in plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary metabolites are substances manufactured by plants that make them competitive in their own environment. These small molecules exert a wide range of effects on the plant itself and on other living organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Primary metabolites and secondary metabolites are two types of biochemical substances produced in plants. Primary metabolites like fats, carbohydrates and proteins are essential for growth and development. Metabolites that are not involved in the growth and development directly are called secondary metabolites.
Detailed explanation-5: -Secondary metabolites, also called natural products, are organic compounds of low molecular mass that are produced by bacteria (e.g., Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Streptomyces spp.), fungi (e.g., Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Trichoderma spp.), and plants of certain taxonomic groups.
