Macronutrients are your three food types: proteins, carbs, and fats. Each one plays a different role in the body, so it's important to eat all types in your diet. Proteins are the building blocks of your muscles and tissues. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for the body. Fats help regulate systems within the body, as well as allow the brain to function normally.

∙ 13y agoThe three macronutrients are: fat, protein, and carbohydrates (carbs). These are the nutrients humans consume the most of. When your body breaks these down, it can provide you with energy (which, in turn, can keep you healthy--especially when used in exercise). It can also help people bulk up, or put on weight, if they've been sick, or are trying to gain more muscle mass (when exercising). The energy provided can also help speed up your metabolism. However, if you consume a lot of these, without exercising, the carbs can convert to sugar, and make you gain unwanted weight. The fat can also make you gain unwanted weight.

∙ 8y agoMacronutrients are needed by the plant or animal in large quantities (macro = large).For the human, the macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
For plants the macronutrients are 3 classes with 3 minerals in each class. Each of these 9 minerals are needed in large quantities by the plant and include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sulfur.

primarynutrients can be also called macro nutrients which are the essential elements which are used by plants in large amounts, they are COHNPK which is an acronym i remember them with = carbon, oxygen, hydrogen Nitrogen Phosphrus and Potasium they all play diffrent roles in the plants like oxygen which is used for Photorespitation, manythings Micro-nutriens are the trace elements needed in small quatities wayy smaller than Macronutrients for plant growth. there is a lot but to name a few: Iron(which is sometimes called a macromolecule as well) Boron, manganese, cobolt and soo on and soo forth. I'm even doing and exam on this tomorrow. :) I'm just reading about it right now.
