A mineral element required by plant tissues in concentrations of at least 1 milligram per gram of their dry matter.
One of the three major nutrients that the body needs for survival. These nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
An essential nutrient that is needed in relatively large amounts; for example, nitrogen and phosphorus.
term used to define the vital substances needed in large amounts by the body, namely protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and water.
Macronutrients are foods like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, that contain calories. Macronutrients impact hormone activity.
nutrients such as carbohydrates that are broken down in the body to provide usable energy
Macronutrient is a category of food needed by our body in substantial amounts to produce energy. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and protein.
major nutrient required by the body in relatively large amounts; the three macronutrients are carbohydrate, fat, protein.
a nutrient that provides calories (fat, protein, carbohydrate, alcohol)
a nutrient that you burn for energy
Any food that contains calories and, therefore, can generate hormonal responses. Protein, carbohydrate, and fat are macronutrients.
The dietary macronutrient groups are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
The three macronutrient groups are carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
An element required in proportionately larger amounts by plants and vital for healthy plant growth. Macronutrients include Nitrogen (N), Potassium(K), and Phosphorus (P), as well as Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Sulfur (S). cf. Micronutrient.
an element required by a living organism in very large quantities
One of the nutrients that are required daily in large amounts and that are thought of in quantities of ounces and grams. They include carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and water.
Gk. makros, large + L. nutrire, to nourish] An inorganic nutrient required in large amounts for plant growth, such as nitrogen, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and sulfur.
chemical element necessary in large amounts, usually greater than 1 ppm in the plant, for the growth of plants and usually applied artificially in fertilizer or liming materials. 'Macro' refers to the quantity and not to the essentiality of the element to the plants.
Substance required in large amounts to sustain life (Carbohydrate, protein, fat, and water).
Nutrients needed in largest amounts (usually 50 mg/kg) for plant growth (e.g. C, N, O, K, Ca, Mg S, and H).
Chemical element required in large amounts (0.05 to several %) for the growth of plants. e.g. calcium, magnesium, phophorus, potassium, nitrogen
A chemical element necessary in large amounts (usually greater than 10 part per million in the plant) for the growth of plants, usually applied as fertilizer. Macro refers to quantity and not the essentiality of the element.
Nutritional element required by an organism in relatively large quantities.
An element essential for plant or animal growth which is utilised in significant quantities.
In ecology and biochemistry, macronutrients are essential chemical elements needed by all life in large quantities for it to function normally. They include the big six: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Occasionally, Macrominerals are in the definition, but are usually excluded in scientific discussion. The other macronutrients are sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc and molybdenum
In nutrition, macronutrients are those nutrients that together provide the vast majority of metabolic energy to an organism. The three main macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, and fat. Others include alcohol and organic acids.
A macronutrient in ecology is an essential chemical element needed in large quantities by all living things in order to function normally. They include the nonmetallic "big six:" carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Occasionally, the macrominerals are included in the definition, but are usually excluded in scientific discussion.
