A nutrient is a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism's metabolism which must be taken in from its environment. Nutrients are the substances that enrich the body. They build and repair tissues, give heat and energy, and regulate body processes. Methods for nutrient intake vary, with animals and protists consuming foods that are digested by an internal digestive system, but most plants ingest nutrients directly from the soil through their roots or from the atmosphere. An exception are the carnivorous plants, which externally digest nutrients from animals, before ingesting them. The effects of nutrients are dose-dependent.

Organic nutrients include carbohydrates, fats, proteins (or their building blocks, amino acids), and vitamins. Inorganic chemical compounds such as dietary minerals, water, and oxygen may also be considered nutrients. A nutrient is essential to an organism if it cannot be synthesized by the organism in sufficient quantities and must be obtained from an external source. Nutrients needed in large quantities are called macronutrients; micronutrients are required in only small quantities.

See healthy diet for more information on the role of nutrients in human nutrition.

What kinds of nutrients does Rhizopus stolonifer(bread mold) need to grow?
Q. Hi! I'm doing a science project on growing Rhizopus Stolonifer. I was wondering what kinds of nutrients does Rhizopus stolonifer(bread mold) need to grow, and what amounts. I was planning on placing different types of bread on the counter and observing the mold. To make my hypothesis on what bread would be the moldiest, I was going to analyze the ingredients on the package, and see how many of the ingredients were prime things for mold growth. Any help would be great! Thanks so much for your time!

A. Bread molds can grow on the breads, that means they can suck up the nutrition from the carbohydrate compounds of the bread. You should be careful when you have a problem with this mold invasion.
