The chemical reactions and pathways involving tetraterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways involving carotenes, hydrocarbon carotenoids. The chemical reactions and pathways involving terpenes, any of a large group of hydrocarbons that are made up of isoprene (C5H8) units which may be cyclic, acyclic or multicyclic, saturated or unsaturated, and may contain various functional groups. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of carotenes, hydrocarbon carotenoids. 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 resulting in the breakdown of carotenes, hydrocarbon carotenoids. The chemical reactions and pathways involving carotenoids, tetraterpenoid compounds in which two units of 4 isoprenoid residues joined head-to-tail are themselves joined tail-to-tail.
