General Information
Term primary alcohol biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0034309 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of primary alcohols. A primary alcohol is any alcohol in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom which has either three hydrogen atoms attached to it or only one other carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms attached to it.
Also Known As "monohydric alcohol biosynthetic process" ; "primary alcohol anabolism" ; "primary alcohol biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
