The correct response is: Macronutrients are compounds needed in large amounts, and micronutrients are compounds needed in small amounts. Our bodies need more macronutrients, like carbs, lipids, and proteins, than micronutrients like vitamins and minerals.
Macronutrients provide the energy and the bulk of our dietary needs, while micronutrients, though required in smaller quantities, are essential for various biochemical functions in the body.
