Nutrition

Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food to maintain its life. It provides organisms with nutrients, which can be metabolized to create energy and chemical structures. Organisms obtain nutrients by consuming organic matter, consuming inorganic matter, absorbing light, or some combination of these. Some can produce nutrients internally by consuming basic elements, while others must consume other organisms to obtain pre-existing nutrients.

Nutritional processes and the transformation of nutrients within the organism are closely related to the presence of enzymes that catalyze reactions. These enzymes influence energy yield and the secondary metabolites produced. Alterations in enzyme function can lead to undesirable nutritional and metabolic states in organisms.
