No, minerals are made up of atoms, not molecules. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure. Molecules are made up of bonded atoms, but minerals are composed of a repeating internal structure of atoms arranged in a specific pattern.
yes
No. It is more appropriate to say that rocks are naturally occurring substances made up of of minerals.
Living
Soil is made up of broken down pieces of living and nonliving earth material. Living material can include plant matter, organisms, and bacteria, while nonliving material can include rocks, minerals, and organic matter.
Minerals are naturally made resources. To figure out if something is a mineral, simply ask yourself these questions:1. Is it a solid? [minerals cant be gases or liquids]2. Is it formed in nature? [Crystalline materials made by people aren't classified as minerals]3. Is it nonliving material? [ A mineral is inorganic, meaning it isn't made of living things.]4.Does it have a Crystalline structure? [ Minerals form crystals, which have a repeating inner structure that is often reflected in the shape of the crystal. Minerals generally have the same chemical composition throughout.]
It appears there may be a typographical error in your question. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that have a specific chemical composition and physical properties. They are essential for the body to function properly and are found in many foods.

Trees and anything made of wood.
A rock is made of minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. These minerals are the building blocks of rocks and determine their color, texture, and hardness.
