Isopren: Forskelle mellem versioner

'''Isopren''' er en meget vigtig byggesten, som danner grundlaget for biosyntesen af mange biologiske molekyler, f.eks. squalen (et intermediat i [[kolesterol]]biosyntesen), [[terpen]]er, [[gibberellin]]er, [[sterol]]er, [[carotenoid]]er, neophytadien gummi, [[fytolhalen]] på chlorofylmolekylet osv.

ScienceDaily] Citat: "...In these studies, the research team focused on a chemical called isoprene, which is given off by many [[stedsegrøn|deciduous]] trees. "The king emitters are [[eg|oaks]]," Wennberg says. "And the isoprene they emit is one of the reasons that the [[Smoky Mountains]] appear smoky."..."And isoprene only comes from plants. They make hundreds of millions of tons of this chemical...for reasons that we still do not fully understand."..."

Her exhaustive work represents a major step toward a complete picture of how human activity affects the global ecosystem.
