: The precursor route for diverse alkaloid groups. Tracer Techniques : The use of radioactive isotopes (like 3Hcubed cap H

) as chemical markers to investigate biogenetic pathways in plants. 🍃 Unit 2: Secondary Metabolites Pharmacognosy 2

This unit focuses on how plants construct therapeutic chemical compounds at a cellular level and how scientists map these building processes. : Study of pathways leading to secondary metabolites: : The precursor route for diverse alkaloid groups

: Leads to aromatic amino acids and phenylpropanoids. Pharmacognosy 2

: Vital for the formation of terpenes and steroids.
