The term metabolite is usually restricted to small molecules. A primary metabolite is directly involved in the normal growth, development, and reproduction. A secondary metabolite is not directly involved in those processes, but usually has important ecological function. The organic compounds in the metabolic processes are the metabolites which are divided as starting materials, intermediary metabolites and end products.
