#phenolics

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

Phenolics are synthesized mainly via:

B fits best: Shikimic acid pathway. Keep the PLANT SEC METABOLITES basics straight and Shikimic acid pathway stands out as the precise answer. Avoid: A) Glycolysis; C) TCA cycle; D) PPP. Light and flowering items often hinge on which photoreceptor or day-length rule is in play.

The largest class of plant secondary metabolites is:

Terpenoids (C) is correct here. This is core PLANT SEC METABOLITES: once you know the definition or pathway step, Terpenoids is the clear fit. The wrong ones are A) Phenolics; B) Alkaloids; D) Glycosides. If the topic is about gradients or potentials, water/solutes move from higher to lower of the relevant quantity.
