Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamins do not provide energy as they are not stored in our bodies. Vitamins are essential as a catalyst in the release of energy from three major sources of energy i.e. fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is one other nutrient that we must have in large quantities: water. Water does not contain carbon, but is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule of water. Unlike the energy-yielding macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, and protein), water does not provide any energy (calories).
