Hi, how are you guys?

I hope you are safe and healthy. So today I thought of coming to you with a very beautiful post.

So guys, today I am talking about Elements with the highest percentage in living organisms.

So today I hope to share with you about a slightly different topic. Also, this topic is a bit complicated. So today I hope to present through this post about the elements that are mostly included in a living body.

So, first of all, I learned about these things when I was studying science in the 10th year of school. I really thought that lesson was very useful for all of us. So I thought it would be good if I share what I learned about it with you.

Before we can learn about anything, we need to learn about ourselves. So, our body looks simple from the outside, but actually inside it is a collection of very complex processes.

Do you know that out of the 92 naturally occurring elements, only 25 elements contribute to the creation of our body. Among those 25 elements, there are 4 elements that are mostly contained in our body. They are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These 04 elements when presented using scientific symbols are as follows: C, H, N, O.

The percentage by mass of the above-mentioned grant elements contained in the human body is mentioned below.

01).Oxygen (O) = 65 %

02).Hydrogen (H) = 10 %

03).Nitrogen (N) = 3%

04).Carbon (C) = 18%

So, another important thing to say is that apart from the above 04 main elements, there are other elements that contribute to the existence of the human body. So, in addition to these 04 elements, these other elements are also essential for the existence of our body.
In addition to the elements mentioned above, elements like sulfur, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ions, chlorine are also very helpful for the survival of the human body.

Similarly, the chemical compounds that make up the human body are divided into two main parts based on the carbon element.

  1. Organic compounds
  2. Inorganic compounds

Here, organic compounds are compounds that contain carbon. We can see 04 basic types of organic compounds in the human body. Those organic compounds are also known as biomolecules. They are

  1. Carbohydrates

  2. Protein

  3. Lipids

  4. Nucleic acids.

I mentioned above that organic compounds are compounds containing carbon. But here I want to say carbon dioxide containing carbon.
Carbon monoxide, carbonate,
Some compounds such as bicarbonate are called inorganic compounds because they are gases.

So the second type is inorganic compounds. Inorganic compounds are compounds that do not contain carbon. So water, mineral salts and gases are examples of inorganic compounds.

So I think that things like this are very important because in order to maintain the existence of the human body at a good level, I think it is important for us to have a little knowledge about it.

So guys, I will stop here for today. So I will say goodbye for today, hoping to meet again with a beautiful post with a beautiful place.

So as always,I am very thankful to all of you who read this post of mine, to the owner of the you tube channel who got the information to refer to the steemit platform, and the everybody who encouraged me with words and gave votes and comments for my posts.
