Inorganic Nutrients and Soil. Inorganic nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are important in the distribution and the abundance of living things. Plants obtain these inorganic nutrients from the soil when water moves into the plant through the roots. Therefore, soil structure (the particle size of soil components), soil pH, and soil nutrient content play an important role in the distribution of plants. Animals obtain inorganic nutrients from the food they consume. Therefore, animal distributions are related to the distribution of what they eat.
Carefully planned nutrition must provide an energy balance and a nutrient balance. The nutrients are: 1  Proteins-essential to growth and repair of muscle and other body tissues. 2  Fats-one source of energy and important in relation to fat soluble vitamins.3  Carbohydrates-our main source of energy.4  Minerals-those inorganic elements occurring in the body and which are critical to its normal functions.he nutrients are: 1  Proteins-essential to growth and repair of muscle and other body tissues. 2  Fats-one source of energy and important in relation to fat soluble vitamins. 3  Carbohydrates-our main source of energy. 4  Minerals-those inorganic elements occurring in the body and which are critical to its normal functions.
