        "These compounds are naturally synthesized in bacteria or fungi
or in plants. What is the endogenous function of the molecule (if known)
in the organism where it is synthesized and what is its exogenous function
in the organism where it is most studied (homo sapiens)? In five minutes
-- first define the molecule in terms of its class, say where it is
endogenously made and give the name of that organism. Briefly describe
its endogenous function in the organism where it is made and conclude
your presentation with information of how our species uses this molecule
to our own benefit." (Janice Marchut Conrad BIO101 Laboratory
Syllabus & Protocols Fall 2009).


        You must use scholarly, peer reviewed sources for your presentations.
This is where I can help you.
