Some of the minerals used might be:
Aluminum = Bauxite
Iron = Hematite, Limonite, others
Quartz = Sand and potash
Chromium = Chromite
Copper = Chalcopyrite, Cuprite, many others
Magnesium = Magnesia, Magnesite
Zinc = Sphalerite, Zincite
Gold = Gold + Silver in all degrees of mix as ore
Tin = Cassiterite
I recommend "Dana's Mineralogical Handbook" for further research
Actually, bauxite isn't a mineral. It is a sedimentary rock consisting mainly out of aluminum and iron oxides, hydroxides and oxyhydroxides.

Why does a fetus needs amino acids?
They are digestive juices, and are needed to build up the digestive systemTo make proteins (to build a body).
Why do plants need soil if they make their own food with chloroplast?
Soil contains minerals needed by the plant to produce food. Much in the same way humans need specific vitamins and minerals in order to properly function, plants too need minerals to produce certain nutrients in order to grow and thrive. Consider chloroplasts to be the pot where the food is prepared: the ingredients needed are sunlight (energy), as well as carbon dioxide, water and minerals. Some examples of essential minerals needed by plants include nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sulfur. The plant draws these minerals from the soil. Different types of fertilizers contain various amounts of these minerals depending on which is lacking in the soil.
What molecule provides hydrogen needed to make glucose?
Water. H2O is where the hydrogen comes from to build the C6H12O6 molecule.
Why are there more different types of rocks then minerals?
Elements make up minerals, and minerals make up rocks. There are more combinations of minerals (themselves combinations) than elements.

This mineral works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth?
I understand you are asking for MINERALS not compounds or elements. In which case the minerals that make teeth strong are Calcite and Apatite, while in bones the mineral is mainly Calcite However, the elements needed for strong bones and teeth (which make up the minerals) are Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Fluoride. Milk is a good source of these elements.
