Most of the minerals we need are the same ones plants require for their own growth. We both need: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, iron, boron, manganese, copper, zinc, molybdenum and chlorine.
Plants don't store minerals for our benefit -- they use them for their own life cycles. If any of their 16 essential elements is not available, the plant withers and dies. If you buy a tomato or a red bell pepper, you know that the plant grew successfully and had all of the minerals it needed. When you eat a wide variety of foods from plants, and animals who eat plants, you will get plenty of these minerals.
The minerals we need that plants don't need are sodium, iodine, fluoride, selenium and cobalt. They may be in plants, but the plants do not die if they are not available. Most people get plenty of these minerals because our diet is abundant in salt, our water is fluoridated, and we eat foods grown in many different locations. Plants grown far from the oceans lack iodine, and a person who ate only those plants would have goiter, but this condition is no longer seen in North America because we use iodized salt and eat foods from all parts of the continent.
If you eat a moderately varied diet that includes plenty of plants, you should get all the minerals you need and your body regulates them efficiently. Strict vegetarians should check the amount of calcium in the foods they eat, and may wish to take supplements or foods fortified with calcium.
no because: How do enzymes work? Enzymes work by breaking apart large complex compounds (substrates) into smaller, more readily absorbed nutrients that bacteria can utilize. Only very small quantities of enzymes are needed to change very large quantities of substrate: typically enzyme to substrate ratios can range from 1:1,000 to 1:1,000,000.
Many crops need large quantities of water, an example of one being rice.
Plants store the mineral water as a source of nutrients, an example would be a cactus plant, storing large amount of water as the condition that it survives in hardly recieves rain.
Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, and only small quantities are needed to catalyze the reaction of relatively large amounts of materials.
If ingested or breathed in in large quantities, but not small quantities.
A macro mineral is needed in large quantities whereas trace elements are minerals required in small quantities
Macronutrients are just nutrients that are needed by the body in large quantities.
macronutrients
Calcium phosphate (bone meal) is an effective fertilizer for flowering plants. It provides phosphorous which is needed in order for the plants to produce flowers in large quantities.
Sodium is not needed in large quantities, and when consumed in large doses, can lead to many health problems. However, some amount of sodium is necessary for the body to function.
Sodium is one of the minerals that the body needs in relatively large quantities
The minerals found in food can be categorized into two groups; macrominerals, and trace minerals. Macrominerals are usually found in large quantities in food, and are required in larger quantities for the body. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in food, and are needed in smaller amounts in the diet. Macrominerals: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur. Trace minerals: Iron, zinc, iodide, selenium, copper, fluoride, chromium, molybdenum, manganese.
Large amounts of dissolved nutrients are brought to the ocean's surface.
Pakistani people are found of sugar and sweets hence it is needed in large quantities

To provide something that is wanted or needed ,often in large quantities and over longbperiod of time.
