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. Let us look at them more closely here and explore the implications of process choice for a firm. Projects. Projects represent one-of-a-kind production for an individual customer.
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 compounds while minerals are inorganic. Minerals have a much simpler chemical composition compared to vitamins. While vitamins are obtained from plants and animals, the body gets minerals from soil and water.In particular, it is possible for one to buy mineral water or seltzer water, both of which have naturally-occurring minerals or added minerals.itamins can be water soluble or fat-soluble. While water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body and have to be taken with water, fat-soluble vitamins get dissolved in the bodyâs fat cells and are also stored in the body. Minerals are divided into macro minerals and trace minerals.
