(N/A) Asparagine and glutamine are two of the most important amides found in plants.
$1$. They are structurally formed from two amino acids,aspartic acid and glutamic acid respectively,by the addition of another amino group to each.
$2$. Since amides contain more nitrogen than amino acids,they are transported to other parts of the plant via the xylem vessels.
$3$. Along with the transpiration stream,these amides reach the young growing parts of the plant.
$4$. In addition to nitrogen,these compounds also carry other essential elements to the sink regions of the plant.
