Trace elements are required by an organism in small amounts. Some trace elements such as iron (Fe) are needed by all forms of life, others are only required by certain species, for example; For vertebrates (animals with a back bone) the element iodine (I) is an essential ingredient of a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. A daily intake of only 0.15mg of iodine is adeqate for normal activity of the human thyroid. An iodine deficiency in the diet causes the thyroid gland to grow to an abnormal size, a condition called goitre. eating sea food or iodised salt reduces the incidence of gotire.

Several examples are: selenium, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt.

Boron is in at least humans. It's a trace element which, with the other trace elements, makes up less than 0.1% of the human body weight.
An element is a substance that contains the same type of atom throughout it (e.g. Iron has only Iron atoms in it.) A trace element is an element with less than 100 parts per million in a sample.

Yes. zinc is an essential element for human survival. There are so many enzymes there is your body, which have got zinc as essential component. You may or may not need to take extra supplement of the zinc in your diet. There are other trace elements that are there, which are essential for the survival of the human being. Most of them are placed before and after the Iron in periodic table.
A trace element.
Carbon is the element that is essential in the human diet and for plant growth. Carbon is the basis for life.
Zinc is a trace element as the others are found in large amounts.
human systems
Numerous elements are pretty much essential in the human diet; a few are: * Calcium * Potassium * Iron * Phosphorus * Nitrogen
Boron is in at least humans. It's a trace element which, with the other trace elements, makes up less than 0.1% of the human body weight.
