How does the body use macronutrients?
Macronutrients are just nutrients that are needed by the body in large quantities.
What is the difference between a Macronutrient and micronutrient?
Macronutrients make up the bulk of what we eat, they are the energy-giving component of what we eat, like the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Micronutrients are the components of what we eat that are essential to good health. Examples, are vitamins and minerals.
Is Sodium a nutrient that is needed 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.
Define micro and macro nutrients?
Macro nutrients = six nutrients are required by the plants in large quantities and hence these are called macro nutrients. Micro nutrients = iron , manganese , zinc , copper , molybdenum , boron and chlorine are the micro nutrients which used in small quantities.
Chemical substance that an organism needs to sustain life?
Nutrient - any substance in food that provides the necessary elements for life. They can be classified into macronutrients (needed in large quantities) and micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities). A balanced intake of nutrients is important for proper growth, development, and overall health.
What are Micro-nutrients and macro-nutrients?
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 is the advantage to Pakistan in producing sugarcane in larger quantities?
Pakistani people are found of sugar and sweets hence it is needed in large quantities

Are enzymes needed in large amounts to function?
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.
What nutrients are neede?
Each nutrient has a particular series of functions in the body and some nutrients are needed in larger quantities than others. For example, protein is needed in gram (g) quantities. Vitamin C is needed in milligram (mg) quantities (1/1000 gram) and vitamin B12 is needed in microgram (µg) quantities (1/1000000 gram). Individual requirements of each nutrient are related to a person's age, gender, level of physical activity and state of health. Also, some people absorb or utilize nutrients less efficiently than others and so will have higher than average nutritional requirements, e.g. among older people, vitamin B12 absorption can be relatively poor.
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.
