Read about vitamins and minerals in the Zimmerman and Snow text, pgs. 21-24, and then conduct further research to learn about the differences in classification between the two micronutrient categories and within the categories. Answer the following questions:
- Explain how vitamins and minerals are classified? What are some of the differences between these two groups of micronutrients?
- Then explain the difference within each of the the categories. There are four( 2 for vitamins and 2 for minerals) that you should differentiate. What are the differences between the subcategories of these micronutrients? Be specific here.
- Give3 examples from each classification(4 groups) for a total of 12 examples. So 3 examples of fat-soluble, 3 examples of water-soluble, etc, etc...
- Describe(don't list) the primary function in our bodies for each of your examples, all 12 examples.
