Name and describe the five characteristics that define land plants
The enzymatic systems responsible for the de novo biosynthesis of saturated fatty acids
and polyketide natural products share many similarities including the utilization of
common precursors, similar chemistry, similar structures and overall architectural design.
Compare and contrast saturated fatty acid biosynthesis with polyketide biosynthesis to
explain how two systems are adapted for completely different functions. The former is
involved in primary metabolism and dedicated for synthesis of fatty acids whereas latter is
endowed with the task of creating a diverse range of complex natural products as shown
above.
