Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamins and minerals are a form of nutrient (called micronutrients) that are needed in small amounts. Although micronutrients don’t give us energy, they are involved in the metabolic processes that enable us to get energy from carbohydrates, protein and fat, which are also known as macronutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamins and minerals are part of a group of essential nutrients called micronutrients. “Micro-” means small; humans need micronutrients in small amounts. Vitamins have names like vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D.
Detailed explanation-3: -We have already considered three nutrients, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, that play a role in the energetics of organisms, but they also are important materially. Organisms are built of more than just these three and need the others in order to grow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Micro-nutrients are needed in very small quantities because of which they are also known as trace elements.
