abundant in the body, accounting
for about 2/3 of body weight.
Protein constitutes about one-fifth
or 20% also. Mineral constitute 4%
of
body
weight,
while
carbohydrates amount to less than
one pound (about 1/3 kilogram) or

Vitamins

minerals and water.

A nutrient that performs one
function is equally as essential as
another nutrient with three
functions.

essential for humans. Ascorbic
acid should be supplied in mans
daily diet but not for rats.
