Nucleic acids will have a nitrogen containing base, so will need a source of nitrate ions to form these, for example. It isn't really a mineral ion though in this case

and secondly, what would the inorganic ion for proteins be ?

okay thank you- so for nucleic acids the inorganic ion is nitrate is that correct? or is it nitrogen ions ?
and secondly, what would the inorganic ion for proteins be ?

In terms of proteins, if we look at the structure of an amino acid (the monomer), it has an "amine" group". This is a NH2 group. Once again, this isn't an ion, but simply a nitrogen atom which we have obtained from the nitrate ion (NO3-)
