title: Phytoenzyme systems as models for an understanding of general metabolic pathways.
abstract: A comparison is made between certain aspects of lipid metabolism in plant and animal tissues. While the general biochemical reactions are identical, a number of important variations are described and related to the general metabolic activities of the tissues.
