What nutrient is need for growth and repair of cells and tissues?
Protein is a nutrient used to make and repair our body cells (like blood and muscle cells). About 1/2 of your dry body weight is protein.
What nutrient is in plants and animals?
Nutrient-rich soil or water contains large amounts of nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and potassium. These nutrients can come from natural sources, like plant and animal remains. As plants and animals die, they decompose. Decomposition releases nutrients into the environment.
What nutrient provides growth and repair?
Nutrients
| Nutrient | Use in the body |
|---|---|
| Protein | For growth and repair |
| Lipids (fats and oils) | To provide energy. Also to store energy in the body and insulate it against the cold. |
| Minerals | Needed in small amounts to maintain health |
| Vitamins | Needed in small amounts to maintain health |
What do animal and plant require in order to grow and survive?
Plants need soil, nutrients, sunlight, water, space, air and appropriate temperatures to survive. Animals need food, water, shelter, oxygen, space and appropriate temperatures.
Which nutrient provides energy and Fibre?
Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. The fruit, vegetables, dairy, and grain food groups all contain carbohydrates.
Can carbohydrates be both simple or complex?
Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains. Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables. Both simple and complex carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) in the body and are used as energy.
What nutrients do we get from animals?
Nutrients in animal source foods Six micronutrients are richly found in ASF: vitamin A, vitamin B12, riboflavin (also called vitamin B2), calcium, iron and zinc.
Which nutrient provides energy and fiber?
Try to get most of your carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, fat-free and low-fat dairy, and whole grains rather than added sugars or refined grains. Many foods with carbohydrates also supply fiber. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that your body cannot digest.
Why do animals and plants require each other in order to grow and survive?
They require air, water, food ( nutrients) , sunlight and a habitat with right temperature.
What plants and animals need to grow?
In order to survive, animals need air, water, food, and shelter (protection from predators and the environment); plants need air, water, nutrients, and light. Every organism has its own way of making sure its basic needs are met.
