Question

The following elements H,N,P and Mg are included in:

Options
  • A

    Macronutrients

  • B

    Micronutrients

  • C

    Trace elements

  • D

    Minor elements

Explanation

Hydrogen, magnesium, nitrogen, and phosphorus all are macronutrients. Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: in other words, fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Micronutrients are mostly vitamins and minerals and are equally important but consumed in very small amounts

Hydrogen, magnesium, nitrogen, and phosphorus all are macronutrients. Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: in other words, fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Micronutrients are mostly vitamins and minerals and are equally important but consumed in very small amounts.

Micronutrients, often referred to as vitamins and minerals, are vital to healthy development, disease prevention, and well-being. Except for vitamin D, micronutrients are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet.

A trace element, also called a minor element, is a chemical element whose concentration is very low. They are classified into two groups: essential and non-essential. Essential trace elements are needed for many physiological and biochemical processes in both plants and animals.

Minor elements ae elements that constitute 1.0 to 0.01 percent of coal by weight. Common minor elements in coal are sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, titanium, manganese, and iron.
