What are Nutrients?
6th Grade
![Page 2: What are Nutrients? 6 th Grade. Nutrients: substances in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development, growth, and repair 6 Kinds: Proteins.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033014/56649e735503460f94b730fa/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

![Page 11: What are Nutrients? 6 th Grade. Nutrients: substances in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development, growth, and repair 6 Kinds: Proteins.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033014/56649e735503460f94b730fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Differences between Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins Minerals
1) Organic come from plants or animals
1) Inorganic come from water, soil
2) Vitamins can easily be destroyed by cooking due to heat or chemical agents
3) Vitamins release energy from food, develop red blood cells, help in blood clotting, and maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and hair
2) Minerals are indestructible
3) Minerals help in bone and tooth formation, muscle contraction
