Types of Processes. We introduced the product-process matrix and four types of processes in Chapter 2--projects, batch production, mass production, and continuous production.

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.
Minerals are inorganic, which means they are not formed by living things, including your body. Instead, the minerals in plants come from the soil in which they are grown. Animal foods get their minerals from eating plants grown in mineral-rich sources.mericans typically do not get enough of the minerals calcium, potassium and magnesium. It is best to get more of these minerals through whole foods so that your body is able to absorb them properly; however, in times of excess growth, such as during pregnancy, your doctor may recommend a supplement.
