1 Minerals are inorganic as they exist naturally in the soil and water. 2  Minerals are organic as they exist in plants and animals. 3  Only plants can transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals.  Animals must eat plants or plant-eating animals to obtain their organic minerals.
Vitamins are organic molecules that occur in all living things naturally. Minerals are inorganic molecules that are part of the earth. Because plants grow in the earth, some minerals are in plants, too. Because animals eat plants, animals have minerals in their systems, too, but very small amounts.itamins are organic molecules that occur in all living things naturally.
