AI overview
I cannot write an accurate overview of nutrition based solely on the provided context, as it only contains a caption about a butterfly gathering nutrients from guano. This single image caption does not provide sufficient information about what nutrition is, how it works in general, or why it matters for living things more broadly. Providing a meaningful overview would require inventing facts beyond what the context supplies.

Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food and water to support its life. The intake of these substances provides organisms with nutrients (divided into macro- and micro-) which can be metabolized to create energy and chemical structures; too much or too little of an essential nutrient can cause malnutrition. Nutritional science, the study of nutrition as a hard science, typically emphasizes human nutrition.
