Answer 2

Answer:

Macro-nutrients are composed of two words i.e. Macro and Nutrients.

"Macro” means in large scale whereas “nutrients” are the chemical substance required by the body.

Therefore, macro-nutrients are the chemical substances required by our body in large quantities on a daily basis for the proper functioning of the body that includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and water. Each of them provides energy in the form of calories.

'Micro' means small.

Micro-nutrients are the organic substances required by the body in small quantities compared to macro-nutrients.

 Macro-nutrients is essential for growth, repair and develop new tissues (carbohydrates), maintain body temperature (fats), conduct nerve impulses, and regulate life process. Micro-nutrients support macro-nutrients to carry out bodily functions. They are also an essential component for building healthy brain, body and bones.

Macro-nutrients provide calories that gives energy to the body.

Micro-nutrients comprises of high volume of antioxidants which protects the body against various diseases.

Macro-nutrients are also called as major elements.

Micro-nutrients are also called trace elements.

There are mainly three macro-nutrients required by the body; carbohydrate, protein and fats.

Micro-nutrients required by the body include vitamins, minerals.  Examples: iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc etc.

Overdose of macro-nutrients causes obesity, heart diseases, diabetes and other metabolic syndromes

Overdose of micro-nutrients may harm specific organs of the body. E.g.: overdose of vitamins affect liver.
