The minerals found in food can be categorized into two groups; macrominerals, and trace minerals. Macrominerals are usually found in large quantities in food, and are required in larger quantities for the body. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in food, and are needed in smaller amounts in the diet. Macrominerals: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur. Trace minerals: Iron, zinc, iodide, selenium, copper, fluoride, chromium, molybdenum, manganese.
Did you mean qualities? Quantities of a scientist makes no sense at all.
Less digits are needed but they still have the same numerical values.
because, when large quantities of food are being digested your body needs a lot of blood to run your digestive system. So the rest of your body starts to shut down, thus, you get tired.
Nutrient? That would be fat. But if you mean substance, that would be water.
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.
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.
Sodium is needed in large quantities as it plays a crucial role in regulating fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction in the body. It is an essential mineral that must be replenished regularly through diet.

Pakistani people are found of sugar and sweets hence it is needed in large quantities
essential nutrient
To provide something that is wanted or needed ,often in large quantities and over longbperiod of time.
Carbohydrates. E.g. in form of glucose, fructose, polysaccharides. The brain among some other organs is dependent on carbohydrates and cannot function long without it. (Pathophysiologically you can look at diabetes mellitus type I when they have hypoglycemia / ketosis).
A micro-nutrient is a nutrient that is necessary for proper function but you only need in small quantities. For example iodine or zinc. A macro-nutrient is something you need in mass quantities. For example, glucose or proteins.
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.
