Question

Name two amides found in plants.

Answer 1

Amides in plants:

1. Amides are a form of secondary metabolite found in plants that play a role in their development and defence against environmental challenges.
2. Two amides found in plants are glutamine and asparagine.
3. These hormones are crucial to the growth and development of plants.
4. Seed germination, root structure, pollen germination, and pollen tube development all require glutamate.
5. Aspartate is a precursor for the biosynthesis of a variety of amino acids and metabolites, each of which plays a unique and crucial function in plant growth, reproduction, development, and defence.
