Nutrients that are needed in large amounts are called Macronutrients.
There are three macronutrients required by humans:
1. carbohydrates (sugar),
2. lipids (fats), and
3. proteins.
Each of these macronutrients provides energy in the form of calories.
Some other macronutrients are: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na).
Glucose is the major monosaccharide found in the body. It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream duringdigestion and a vital carbohydrate as it is a source of energy.
