Also known as nutrient (animals and humans), nutrients
A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow and reproduce. The requirement for dietary nutrient intake applies to animals, plants, fungi and protists. Nutrients can be incorporated into cells for metabolic purposes or excreted by cells to create non-cellular structures such as hair, scales, feathers, or exoskeletons. Some nutrients can be metabolically converted into smaller molecules in the process of releasing energy such as for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and fermentation products (ethanol or vinegar) leading to end-products of water and carbon dioxide.

AI overview
A nutrient is a substance that organisms need to survive, grow, and reproduce, and it's required by animals, plants, fungi, and protists alike. Nutrients serve multiple roles: they can be used to build and maintain cells, create physical structures like hair and scales, or be broken down to release energy that powers living processes.
