Categorize

Options (11)

Most animals require only 8 of these

Deficiency in this can cause protein deficiency

Causes the most common type of malnutrition

Animals cannot synthesize unsaturated versions of this

Organic molecules required in small quantities

Only 13 are essential to humans

Can be grouped in water or fat soluble

Over consumption of some can be deposited in body fat

Inorganic molecules required in small amounts

Examples are calcium & phosphorous that humans require for bone maintenance & growth

Examples include B, A, D, E, K

Materials that an animal’s cells require but cannot synthesize are called essential nutrients. Sort the features of each category of essential nutrients.
