Of the three types of point mutations the most harmful are insertions and deletions. They result in what is known as a frameshift mutation. When a nucleotide base is either inserted or deleted it disrupts the amino acids coded for from the site of the mutation on to the end of the gene.
Your body absorbs two types of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) are your bodyâs direct fuel or energy sources, whereas micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) indirectly influence available energy by serving as catalysts to release the macros.
Our bodies actually get energy (ATP) from the MACROnutrients we eat. Macronutrients are the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats contained in our foods. Vitamins belong to a group of nutrients called micronutrients (because we need them in âmicroâ amounts relative to the macronutrients). These micronutrients help us liberate the energy from the carbohydrate, proteins and fats.
