Calcium and iron are examples of micronutrients classified as minerals. These essential nutrients are required in small amounts for various bodily functions, including bone health and oxygen transport in the blood. While they are critical for overall health, they differ in their specific roles and sources in the diet.
What else can I help you with?
Elements used as nutrients such as iron are called what?
Minerals.
Calciun and iron are examples of?

Micronutrients refer to essential vitamins and minerals required by the body in small amounts, such as vitamin C, iron, and calcium. Yogurt can be a good source of certain micronutrients, like calcium and B vitamins, but it itself is not classified as a micronutrient.
Are minerals essential to a plants growth?

How does calcium aid in the absorption of iron in the body?
Calcium aids in the absorption of iron in the body by helping to regulate the production of a protein called ferritin, which stores iron in the body. Calcium also competes with iron for absorption in the intestines, which can help prevent excessive iron absorption.
What are macronutrients micronutrients?
The nutrients which are required in small quantities are called micronutrients e.g. iron, molybdenum, boron, chlorine, zinc etc. Similarly, the nutrients which are required in large quantities are called macronutrients e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, magnesium, potassium etc.
What are the macronutrients and micronutrients needed by plants?
macronutrients= nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Micronutrients= boron, iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper.

What happens when calcium oxide reacts with iron?
Iron will react with calcium oxide as iron is more reactive than calcium, therefore calcium (which is the more reactive metal) will displace calcium (the less reactive metal) to form a compound. This is called a displacement reaction.
Why are vitamins and nutrients called micronutrients?
Vitamins and minerals are only required in the diet in very small amounts (milligrams or micrograms, depending on the vitamin or mineral). Macronutrients on the other hand are needed in gram amounts, for example protein or fat.
