The herbicide shown below is an ester derivative of glyphosate. Although only a small amount of the herbicide is required to kill a plant, it shows little toxicity against humans. Assuming that it kills plants by inhibiting an enzyme needed for the synthesis of phenylalanine, suggest why this powerful herbicide has little effect on humans.
