These are substances which are not carbon compounds. They include water, salt and other compounds which provide trace nutrients. We are unlikely to ingest anything as an element, except perhaps iron, which is converted to ions by the stomach acid and then absorbed. You need to be careful when describing inorganic nutrients. Whilst a biologist may refer to something like 'potassium in the diet' , if you are being accurate as a chemist you must remember that it will be a potassium compound that you ingest. (Potassium metal reacts violently with water.)

What are the contributions of chemistry to nutrition?
Nutrition is defined as the process of intake of nutrients and its utilization by an organism for various metabolic activities. Without chemistry, we cannot understand the concept of nutrients because nutrients are of two types i.e. organic (like - CO2 & H2O) and inorganic (Carbbohydrates,proteins,fats).
Are vegetables organic or inorganic?
Vegetables are considered organic in the sense that they are living organisms made up of organic molecules derived from plants. Inorganic substances, on the other hand, refer to minerals and non-living matter like rocks or metals.
Is carbon dioxide organic or an inorganic compound?
Carbon dioxide is considered an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, which are the defining feature of organic compounds. It consists of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms.
What are two branches types of chemistry and what does each study?
Two branch types of chemistry are organic chemistry, which focuses on studying carbon-based compounds, and inorganic chemistry, which studies non-carbon-based compounds. Organic chemistry deals with the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, while inorganic chemistry focuses on studying the properties and behaviors of inorganic compounds.

Is phosphate organic or inorganic?
No, ATP is an organic compound. The full name is adenosine triphosphate, and the adenosine part is made of two carbon rings interlocked with each other. The three phosphate groups are inorganic, and when one is removed from the ATP molecule, the resulting phosphate group is typically notated as Pi, for inorganic phosphate.
Is monosodium glutamate organic or inorganic?
it is composed of two ions: sodium+ ion and the covalently bonded glutamate- ion.
