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.
Vitamins are compounds that your body needs in small amounts to function properly. These tiny helpers are organic compounds, which contain only certain types of atoms. Organic molecules are made from living organisms, while inorganic compounds such as minerals come from the earth, soil and water.ccording to the Linus Pauling Institute, the term vitamin came from the words vital and amine, which means a compound that contains nitrogen. Although not all vitamins contain nitrogen, they are organic molecules that your body needs in small doses.
