Answer / anithaisro

Flavonoids are a diverse group of chemicals found in all
plants. About 4000 phytochemicals belong to the flavonoids
group. Examples of flavonoids are luteolin, quercetin,
blumeatin, tetrahdrooxyflavanone, epigallocatechin gallate,
anthocyanins, and tamarixetin. Flavonoids are secondary
metabolite products from the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic
pathway. All Flavonoids are derived from a chalcone
precursor.
