No, minerals are not alive. A mineral is a naturally occurring solid. The seven characteristics of life are Sensitivity, Breathing (or respiration), Movement, Growth, Feeding, Excretion, and Reproduction. Nothing of the characteristics are held by a mineral.
is it True minerals can only come from nonliving things.
Inorganic minerals.
simply
Small pieces of material that come from rocks are known as minerals, while small pieces of material that come from living things are called organic matter or particles. Minerals are inorganic compounds, while organic matter includes fragments of plants, animals, or other organisms.
To my understanding, minerals don't need chelates, we need chelated forms of minerals to better be able to use them. Chelated minerals are a special form of minerals that are found in living things. If the minerals aren't chelated, living things are unable to utilize them.
A rock is made of 2 or more minerals, minerals make up rocks but rocks cannot make up minerals.
all living things come from other living things
Your question is unclear but living things rely on non-living things to survive. Everything from rocks to build a shelter to minerals for our bodies to function are required.
