What is the pharmacological function of tannins?
Tannins are phenolic compounds found in many plant species. Tannins deter against animal consumption due to a bitter taste and/or toxic consequences upon injestion. Phenolics is a category secondary metabolites. Other categories of secondary metabolites include Alkaloids, Terpenoids and Polyketides. Penolics are antioxidants with intense flavors and smells.

antibiotics, pigments
What is the nature of antibiotics?
antibiotics are the primary and secondary metabolites of many fungi and some bacteria which are used against pathogenic microorganisms. usually antibiotics are protein in nature but may also occure in conjugated form like glycopeotide etc......
What is the difference between primary and secondary metabolites?
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
How did the study of microbes enable us to develop antibiotics?
Some bacteria, most notably species in the genus Streptomyces and Actinomycetes produce antibiotics as secondary metabolites. Aside from bacteria, some fungi such as Penicillium produce antibiotics as well. Scientists were then able to purify the antibiotics produced from the microbes for clinical purposes.
