Macro nutrients are C, H , N, O, P, K, S and micronutrient are cl, Zn, F etc
A nutrient is a macronutrient when it is needed by the body in larger amounts than micronutrients. The macronutrients are required in large amounts for living beings. Some macronutrients are: Nitrogen, Carbon& Potassium.
macronutrients : required in relatively large amounts "big six": carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen phosphorous sulfur other macronutrients: potassium calcium iron magnesium micronutrients : required in very small amounts, (but still necessary) boron (green plants) copper (some enzymes) molybdenum (nitrogen-fixing bacteria)
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.
Because our body use them in all the biochemicals reactions that allow us to live. They are necessary, some in small doses some in bigger. That is why we separate them in macronutrients (inorganic molecules used in big quantity) and micronutrients (inorganic molecules used in small quantities)"
Um... a) one or more of the three macronutrients: Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fat b) a varying array of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, plant compounds, etc.) c) calories (energy) d) some amount of water
The acronym USRDA stands for United States Recommended Daily Allowance. In some instances, the acronym is used for United States Recommended Dietary Allowance. In both cases, it refers to the quantity of macronutrients and micronutrients that a person is recommended to consume for maximum health.
some kinds are, some arn't
Vitamins and minerals
Carbohydrate Protein Fat
Macronutrients are usually listed on the back of a nutrition label. In some cases. They can also be found on the side of the label.
