### nutrient:

Excess nutrient
* Most excess nutrients stimulate excessive growth
* Some excess nutrients provide food.
* Some excess nutrients reduce aquatic biodiversity
* allow weeds and algae to bloom, choking out native aquatic species.
* alter the Bay's ecosystem by causing an overgrowth of algae.
* are a major source of pollution in our waters
  - applied to the soil
  - common pollutants in coastal waters
  - stored in various body tissues for future use
* can also wash off the land when it rains and end up in coastal waters
  - cause algae blooms
  - runoff and add to lake pollution
* cause algae blooms, which degrade water quality in the Bay
  - an overgrowth of algae, called algae blooms
  - eutrophication, which depletes oxygen
  - the water body to become choked with organic substances and organisms
* flowing into our coastal waters can compound problems caused by anoxia.
* reduce beneficial algae and promote unnatural growth of marsh vegetation.
  - plant growth

Excessive nutrient
* are the primary problem in Washington's lakes.
* can also promote the growth of potentially toxic organisms
  - trigger excessive algae growth, or eutrophication

Foodstate nutrient
* FoodState nutrients are different from regular vitamins and minerals
  - in the form necessary for absorption
* are food
  - the most important advance in nutrition today
* begin with the same commercial molecule of vitamins or minerals.
* contain no chemicals such as orotates or gluconates.

Important nutrient
* Most important nutrients are needed by horses.
* Most important nutrients contribute to health
  - overall health
* Some important nutrients protect against asthma.
* need for growth.

Inorganic nutrient
* Most inorganic nutrients are in higher concentration in dwarf mistletoe shoots than in host tissues.
* Some inorganic nutrients are synthesized, or made, by humans.
* include phosphate.

Key nutrient
* affect aspects.
* can help the body normalize the inflammatory response, thus restoring balance.

Liquid nutrient
* are available for children who refuse chewables.
* course steadily through the bioreactor, mimicking blood flow.

Major nutrient
* Most major nutrients require for growth.
* are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus.
* include carbohydrates.

Many nutrient
* Most many nutrients lead to health
  - ill health
  - protect against cancer
  - provide health benefits
* Some many nutrients use plants.
* provide benefits

Mineral nutrient
* are added to animal feed
  - critical for plant growth and reproduction
* include irons.
* required by plants enter entirely or predominantly via roots.

Necessary nutrient
* Most necessary nutrients contribute to good health
* Most necessary nutrients require for growth
  - healthy growth

Other nutrient
* are needed by fetuses.
* find in food.
* interfere with uptake.

Plant nutrient
* Many plant nutrients occur in the soil as positively charged cations.
* Some plant nutrients promote growth.
* are more concentrated inside the roots than in the surrounding soil.
* come from chemical soaps, washing powders, etc.
* exist in several forms.

Soil nutrient
* Most soil nutrients are cations.
* Some soil nutrients dissolve in water.
* are another limiting re- source in many forests
  - low, and decomposition occurs rapidly
  - valuable for vegetative growth

Soluble nutrient
* are likely to contaminate groundwater.
* pass, by diffusion, through the walls of the small intestine into the blood.

Yeast nutrient
* Most yeast nutrients improve performance.
* helps the yeast to ferment more quickly.
* is basically urea, though highly purified.
