Summary Introduction
To review:
The food sources that help in the synthesis of various important molecules like enzymes.
Introduction:
Nutrients are the substances that are required by an organism to maintain health. These nutrients are essential for the development and growth of all plants and animals. These are classified into micronutrients and macronutrients.
Macronutrients are required and consumed in relatively large amounts. They function in generating energy, growth, and repairing of tissues. Micronutrients are the nutrients that are required by the body in very minute quantities. Dietary minerals and vitamins are some of the micronutrients that play important role in physiological functioning and maintains the health of the individual.
