A nutrient cycle is a biogeochemical cycle involving the movement of inorganic matter through a combination of soil, organisms, air or water, where they are exchanged in organic matter. [12] Energy flow is a unidirectional and noncyclic pathway, whereas the movement of mineral nutrients is cyclic. Mineral cycles include the carbon cycle, sulfur cycle, nitrogen cycle, water cycle, phosphorus cycle, and oxygen cycle, among others that continually recycle along with other mineral nutrients into productive ecological nutrition.

In combination with protein, sustains glucose breakdown longer Carrier of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and essential fatty acids, which form nerve cell membranes. Over- or underconsumption can trigger a neurotransmitter imbalance (Garrison & Somer, 1995).Of the above, E, C, A, and D vitamins are known as antioxidants. The first three are best ingested in antioxidant-rich food, while vitamin D is obtained through sun exposure Protein consumed by animals is broken down to amino acids, which would be later used to synthesize new proteins. Protein is used to form cellular structures, fluids, [27] and enzymes (biological catalysts). Enzymes are essential to most metabolic processes, as well as DNA replication, repair, and transcription.
