BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Essential minerals are sometimes divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). These two groups of minerals are equally important, but trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. The amounts needed in the body are not an indication of their importance.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Micronutrients, ” also referred to as vitamins and minerals, are no less important than macronutrients. They’re just needed in smaller amounts. They include vitamins, such as C, D and K, and minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are involved in cellular metabolism, formation of skeletal structures, maintenance of colloidal systems, regulation of acid-base equilibrium and other physiological functions. They are important components of hormones and enzymes, and serve as cofactors and/or activators of a variety of enzymes.
