Cells require amino acids, vitamins, minerals, glucose, and fatty acids. Cells need glucose for energy, amino acids to make proteins, fatty acids to make the cell membrane and hormones, etc. Basically, the cells need these items to maintain itself in energy, regulation, and structure; just like how you need food to maintain your energy, regulate your body's needs, and reinforce it's structure.
