The essential nutrients and determine whether they are same for all the animals or not.
Introduction:
Nutrients are the substances that are utilized by organisms for their growth, survival, and reproduction. Nutrients are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. There are certain other nutrients that are obtained from diet, such as cholesterol. On the basis of the requirement of nutrients by the body, nutrients are categorized as micronutrients and macronutrients. The body needs macronutrients in larger amount, whereas micronutrients are required by the body in a smaller quantity.
