The chemical reactions and pathways involving sesquiterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with three isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways involving tetraterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in many of the chemical changes of compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. In multicellular organisms secondary metabolism is generally carried out in specific cell types, and may be useful for the organism as a whole. In unicellular organisms, secondary metabolism is often used for the production of antibiotics or for the utilization and acquisition of unusual nutrients. The chemical reactions and pathways involving monoterpenoid compounds, terpenoids having a C10 skeleton. The chemical reactions and pathways involving phytyl diphosphate, (2E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadec-2-en-1-yl trihydrogen diphosphate. The chemical reactions and pathways involving apocarotenoids, a class of compounds derived from the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids, many of which are biologically important e.g. retinal and abscisic acid. The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. The chemical reactions and pathways involving diterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with four isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways involving geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a polyprenol compound involved in the biosynthesis of a variety of terpenoids including chlorophylls, carotenoids, tocopherols, plastoquinones, and the plant hormones gibberellins. The chemical reactions and pathways involving polyterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with more than eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways involving geranyl diphosphate, the universal precursor of the monoterpenes. The chemical reactions and pathways involving triterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with six isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of terpenoids, any member of a class of compounds characterized by an isoprenoid chemical structure. The chemical reactions and pathways involving terpenoids, any member of a class of compounds characterized by an isoprenoid chemical structure and including derivatives with various functional groups. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of terpenoids, any member of a class of compounds characterized by an isoprenoid chemical structure. The chemical reactions and pathways involving isoprenoid compounds, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) or compounds containing or derived from linked isoprene (3-methyl-2-butenylene) residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways involving saponins, glycosides of plants in which the aglycan (sapogenin) moiety is a terpene or steroid and the sugar moiety is a glucose, a galactose, a pentose, a methylpentose or an oligosaccharide. Saponins are powerful surfactant agents and membrane active; they are, hence, toxic to animals on injection.
