Essential nutrients
These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.
Vitamins
The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
Describe how GMOs are produced?
GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. These organisms are produced by doing modification to their genome.
The steps for making a GMO are-
1. Isolate the gene of interest from an organism by digesting the DNA into fragments.
2. Insert this gene of interest into the plasmid.
3. Insert this plasmid into the cell which needs to be modified.
4. Now isolate the transformed cells.
5. Culture or grow the transformed cells in-vitro and this produces a genetically modified organism.
