Is water starch salt sugar vegetables vitamins milk oxygen and proteins organic or inorganic substances?
Everything on your list does play a part in the chemistry of life, known as organic chemistry. However, some chemicals such as water, salt, and oxygen also play a major role in inorganic chemistry, whereas starch, sugar, vitamins, milk, and proteins are more specifically organic, in that they are always associated with life and do not occur in non-living systems. Another way of explaining this is that organic chemistry is about the chemicals that involve the element carbon; we are carbon-based life-forms, as the crew of the starship Enterprise has been known to state. Starch, sugar, vitamins, milk, and proteins are all carbon-based substances, whereas water, salt, and oxygen do not contain carbon. But remember that most carbon-based molecules do also include oxygen. Oxygen is a very important element in both organic and inorganic chemistry.

The 7 classes are carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, fats, fiber, vitamins, and water. These can be broken down into categories such as macro-nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micro-nutrients are needed in smaller amounts (vitamins, fruits, and vegetables), inorganic micro-nutrients (minerals), and some classify water as a class too.

Why do you need vitamins and proteins?
