    Steroids are lipids found in plants and animals. Terpenoids are natural organic chemicals derived from five-carbon isoprene units. Antitumor compounds fight cancerous tumor growth. Microbial secondary metabolites are chemicals produced by microbes. Biotransformation is the chemical modification of biological substances. G.N. Ramachandran is known as the 'Father of Plant Biotechnology'. The yellow pigment in flowers is carotenoids. Elicitors trigger secondary metabolite production in plant cell cultures. The microbial growth curve is log-phase shaped. Food additives include preservatives and colorants.
