Detailed explanation-1: -Essential trace elements of the human body include zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), iodine (I), manga-nese (Mn), and molybdenum (Mo).
Detailed explanation-2: -Exact needs vary among species, but commonly required plant trace elements include copper, boron, zinc, manganese, and molybdenum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trace elements (or trace metals) are minerals present in living tissues in small amounts. Some of them are known to be nutritionally essential, others may be essential (although the evidence is only suggestive or incomplete), and the remainder are considered to be nonessential.
Detailed explanation-4: -Although required in very small amounts, trace elements such as iron, iodine, fluoride, copper, zinc, chromium, selenium, manganese and molybdenum are vital for maintaining health. Also referred to as microminerals, these trace elements are part of enzymes, hormones and cells in the body.
