Nutrients that contain calories like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates provide energy when consumed.
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are macronutrients that provide energy to the body. When consumed, these nutrients are broken down and converted into usable energy for various bodily functions.
Calorie containing nutrients--fats, carbohydrates, and protein, are stored as fat if not used as energy by the body.
Vitamins and minerals are nutrients that do not provide energy (calories) when consumed. They are essential for various bodily functions, such as supporting the immune system, aiding in cell function, and maintaining overall health. Water, while not a nutrient, also does not provide energy and is crucial for hydration and numerous bodily processes.
Energy-yielding nutrients consumed in excess, particularly carbohydrates and fats, can lead to storage of fat. When these nutrients are not utilized as immediate energy, they are converted and stored as fat in the body for later use.

Carbohydrates and Proteins provide most of the energy in our diet
Plants provide energy and nutrients to other organisms through the process of photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. These sugars are then consumed by animals and other organisms higher up in the food chain for energy and nutrients. Additionally, roots of plants can release nutrients into the soil that can be taken up by other organisms.
Eating the cow will give you plenty of protein and other nutrients found in meat that corn does not provide.
No, it provides bulk which helps with digestion and regularity :) There are only three nutrients that provide energy which are carbohydrates and protein (which both provide 4 calories per gram) and fat (which is the most energy dense, providing 9 calories per gram).
