Detailed explanation-1: -Thus six elements that share 98% of the mass of living organisms are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, Calcium, and phosphorus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Four elements-carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N)-make up 96% of living matter.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Four Elements. Greek philosophy supposed the Universe to comprise four elements: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Air was originally supposed to be a component of the Æther [ether, not to be confused with the gas], the element that filled the Universe in the absence of the other three.
Detailed explanation-4: -The four elements common to all living organisms are oxygen (O), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N). In the non-living world, elements are found in different proportions, and some elements common to living organisms are relatively rare on the earth as a whole, as shown in Table 1.
