The fundamental processes in biosynthesis 486

Photosynthesis, glycolysis and Krebs
 cycle are energy-generating processes.
 In addition, these processes together
 with the other basic metabolic PWs
 provide biosynthetic intermediates
 necessary for the formation of the
 constructing units, or building blocks,
 for secondary metabolites formation.
