As well as being an element, yes. It combines with Oxygen to form 'phosphate' which is used to build the phosphate-sugar backbone of DNA and Rna, and is used to form phospholipids, and which acts as the On/Off control factor that binds to, for one example, the Kinase family of [very large] enzymes.

Is whole grain bread a micronutrient or macronutrient?
IS a MACRONUTRIENT
Are carbohydrates micronutrient or macronutrient?
Carbohydrates are macronutrients.
Is caffeine a micronutrient or macronutrient?
It's neither.
What is an example of macronutrient?
Animals: macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats.Plants: macronutrients are divided into 3 different classes. [1] structural = carbon, hydrogen, oxygen [2] primary - potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus [3] secondary - calcium, magnesium, sulfur
Phytin equals macronutrient where phosphorus is most found in food?
Phytin is an insoluble salt of potassium, magnesium and calcium. It is a major storage form of phosphate and macronutrient minerals in seeds. The macronutrient minerals in plants include: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sulfur. Phosphorus is a component of the nucleic acid structure and is important in cell division, new tissue development and energy transformation in the plant.
The chemical structure of alcohol is similar to which macronutrient?
The chemical structure of alcohol is similar to the macronutrient carbohydrate.The primary reason for this is that alcohol can be derived from the fermentation of sugars and it is an organic compound. However when looking at the basic structure of an alcohol, it more closely resembles the inorganic micronutrient water, as one of the hydrogen atoms of water is replaced by the alkyl group of alcohol.
What determines whether a mineral is macronutrient and a micronutrient?
Macronutrients are either proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. They are considered macro because the body needs them in pretty large amounts. Vitamins and minerals are considered micronutrients, because the body only needs them in small amounts.
When was Micronutrient Initiative created?
Micronutrient Initiative was created in 1994.
What is Micronutrient Initiative's population?
Micronutrient Initiative's population is 70.
What is the population of Micronutrient Initiative?
Micronutrient Initiative's population is 30.
Is salt a micronutrient?
NO
Is water a macronutrient?
NO
