Food is a must for survival. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals are the major nutritional components that must be included in our diet. These food components are known as nutrients, and they are essential for the growth of all living things. Nutrition is the process of a living organism utilizing food in order to obtain energy for their own growth and development. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion are all processes that might be characterized as nutrition.
Food is required by all plants and animals in order for them to produce energy, which is required for their own growth. Plants can create their own food through a process called photosynthesis, but animals cannot make their own food.
Animals can draw their nutrition by directly eating the plants (herbivores), or indirectly by eating animals which have consumed plants (carnivores). Omnivores are creatures that have the ability to eat both vegetation and animals. Animals only consume ready-made complex organic matter derived from other microbes, and this technique of consuming ready-made complex organic matter is referred to as holozoic nutrition.
The nutrients make it possible for the living organism to build up their bodies, to grow, to repair the damaged parts of their bodies and supply the energy to hold out life processes essential for living. For growth and maintenance of the body, macro, and micro-nutrients both are essential. For example, if we talk aboutdogs, the nutrition they need to gain energy arecarbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
