Question

Trace minerals are needed in much smaller amounts than major minerals, but they are just as essential for good health.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The correct answer is - true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Like macromolecules and vitamins, minerals are also essential for a healthy body. The essential minerals can be divided on the basis of their requirement into major minerals and trace minerals.

The trace elements and the major elements both are equally important. It does not matter if a high amount of major elements are required and a small amount of trace elements required. The amount is not an indication of the importance of the element.
