No. Micronutrients are things you need only in tiny amounts (like cobalt or cyanide) , and have no role in energy production EXCEPT that some are needed to allow that energy to be produced at all.
Which category of nutrient would be best described as compounds needed in small amounts in the diet to facilitate chemical reactions in the body?
Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are compounds needed in small amounts to support various physiological functions in the body. These nutrients play vital roles in enzyme function, metabolism, and overall health. They are essential for maintaining proper growth, development, and overall well-being.
Why are vitamins and nutrients called micronutrients?
Vitamins and minerals are only required in the diet in very small amounts (milligrams or micrograms, depending on the vitamin or mineral). Macronutrients on the other hand are needed in gram amounts, for example protein or fat.
What nutrients made by living things are required in very small amounts to assist with chemical reactions in the body?
Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are required in very small amounts to assist with various chemical reactions in the body. These micronutrients play essential roles in processes such as energy production, immune function, and cell growth and repair. A balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods is essential to ensure adequate intake of these micronutrients.

What compounds are needed in very small amounts for the cells to carry out their normal functions?
Cells require quite a few different types of compounds for normal operation. The best reference (for the nonbiochemist that is) would be "The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science" by I. Asimov. The thing is, the book is outdated in some areas but it's really really readable and the science in it is first rate!
