    daughter needs help with homework

    My daughter is doing her homework. She forgot to bring her books home Biology is not my thing. Let's make a long question short...
    Vocabulary review: What is a secondary compound?
    Please help her

    "Secondary metabolism:
    Metabolism of secondary compounds, defined simply as
    compounds other than primary compounds. A compound is
    classified as a secondary metabolite if it does not seem to
    directly function in the processes of growth and
    development. Even though secondary compounds are a
    normal part of the metabolism of an organism, they are
    often produced in specialized cells, and tend to be more
    complex than primary compounds. Examples of secondary
    compounds include antibiotics, and plant chemical
    defenses such as alkaloids and steroids"

    Thanks so much. Checking out the website right now. Can I ask a couple more questions if the needed? Not sure just yet. I would rather her find the answers on her own. Thanks again

    Why not just look the terms up on google.ca and check a couple of different results to ensure accuracy? It'd be a lot faster than this. =)
