Metabolites are the intermediates and products of metabolism.
The term metabolite is usually restricted to small molecules. A
primary metabolite is directly involved in normal growth,
development, and reproduction. A secondary metabolite is not
directly involved in those processes, but usually has an important
ecological function that means secondary metabolite usually is not
that important for the organism and if this secondary meatbolite is
not present it would not harm the organism.Now the examples for ur
further help primary metabolites-- enzymes certain proteins
.Secondary metabolite---- antibiotics, pigments etc
