| Compound | Description |

| diphosphoric acid | |
| lycopene | A carotenoid and red pigment produced by tomatoes, other red fruits and vegetables, and photosynthetic algae. It is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of other carotenoids, and has antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, radioprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties. |
| Plastoquinone | Polyunsaturated side-chain quinone derivative which is an important link in the electron transport chain of green plants during the photosynthetic conversion of light energy by photophosphorylation into the potential energy of chemical bonds. |
| Lycopene, (7-cis,7'-cis,9-cis,9'-cis)-isomer - | |
| geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate | RN given refers to (E,E,E)-isomer |
| zeta carotene | A carotenoid produced in most carotenogenic organisms. It is one of several sequentially synthesized molecules that are precursors to BETA CAROTENE. |
| plastoquinol | reduced form of plastoquinone |
| phytoene, (15-cis)-isomer | |
| neurosporene, (cis)-isomer | |
| Heme | The color-furnishing portion of hemoglobin. It is found free in tissues and as the prosthetic group in many hemeproteins. |
