constituents of food are called macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are the major sources of energy and building materials for humans‚ while micronutrients are only required in relatively small amounts. Micronutrients can be found in vitamins‚ minerals and trace elements‚ and are still required in sufficient amounts to ensure proper functioning of all body cells. In addition‚ micronutrients‚ like water‚ do not provide energy. The majority of macronutrients are essential nutrients for life

It is then restored to the globe when it is remade in the respiration cycle of plants. Micronutrient and Macronutrients interact or move along with theses cycles‚ supplying nourishment to the plants and animals that rely on these cycles for their very life. Both of the nutrients are necessary for health and life‚ but each one has a varied role. Micronutrients

Proteins are also essential nutrients for the human body. They are important in body tissue‚ and can also serve as a fuel source. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. We need protein in our diet to help our body to repair cells and make new ones. The human body needs a lot of amino acids to maintain good health. Protein is also important for growth and development in children‚ teens‚ and pregnant women. Proteins are polymer chains

Carbohydrates‚ fats and protein are the three macronutrients that are digested and absorbed in the body. Different events happen in different places in the body such as the mouth‚ stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine‚ liver‚ gallbladder and pancreas. Something different happens in each of these places that has to do the way we digest and absorb these three macronutrients. The body is like a work line‚ working in an orderly way to make sure digestion and absorption is done properly. Carbohydrates

There are six major groups of nutrients. Macronutrients provide energy so they are needed in greater amounts. The macronutrients are carbohydrates (CHO)‚ proteins (PRO)‚ and lipids (fats). Micronutrients are needed in smaller amounts. This group includes vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals are needed to process (metabolize)
