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.
â¢ Minerals have a fixed atomic pattern that repeats itself over a large region relative to the size of atoms â Crystal solid, or crystal lattice: The organized structure of a mineral â A glass is not a mineral; no organized structure 6- Generally Inorganic â¢ Organic: A substance composed of C bonded to H, with varying amounts of O, N and other elements. C, alone, is not organic! â¢ Only a few organic substances are considered minerals, all other minerals are inorganic
