Petrochemicals are derived from fossil fuels and primarily serve as raw materials for industrial processes, rather than as biological substances needed for growth and metabolism. Unlike nutrients, which are essential for the sustenance of living organisms, petrochemicals do not provide the necessary vitamins, minerals, or energy required for biological functions. Additionally, many petrochemicals can be toxic or harmful to living organisms, further distinguishing them from nutrients. Thus, while they play a vital role in various applications, they do not fulfill the role of nutrients in biological systems.
The two classes of petrochemicals are, olefins, which include ethylene and propylene; and aromatics, which include benzene, toluene, and xylene isomers.
Sugarcane and Coffee are agricultural exports and they are a major petrochemical and pharmaceutical producer.
Water is not considered a nutrient even though it contains nutrients because it is considered a transporter of nutrients. It transports the nutrients throughout the body.
