HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -The organic nutrients include the macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) and vitamins. An organic nutrient contains both carbon and hydrogen. Organic nutrients can be made by living organisms and are complex, made up of many elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes nitrogen) bonded together.

Detailed explanation-2: -While inorganic compounds, which include minerals, are important, this experiment will concentrate on three basic classes of organic compounds: carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Because these nutrients are ingested and used by the body in large amounts, they are called macronutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamins are organic compounds (meaning they contain Carbon) and they are vital nutrients that organisms require in limited amounts. Just like other essential nutrients, vitamins must be obtained from the diet since the organism can not make them (or can not make enough of them) for survival.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nutrients that are needed in large amounts are called macronutrients. There are three classes of macronutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. These can be metabolically processed into cellular energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Why are they essential to our body? Although each of the 7 major groups of nutrients performs different and unique functions in our body, they are all essential because they work together and contribute to our good health.
