about twenty however there is a great amount of variance in this as certain organisms use some that others do not. At most twenty-six.

∙ 11y agoMost elements are required by some living things, somewhere - there's worms on the sea-bed that synthesise their nutrients from minerals venting from the sea floor, archaea that consume arsenic for respiration, all kinds of weird things like that. In terms of humans, we're talking carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sodium, iron, at the least - and there may be a few I've missed off that list.

All living things are made up of tiny cells.?
yes although the number of cells in an organism may vary depending on whether it is a unicellular or multicellular organism.
How many chromosomes does a horsetail have?
A housefly has 12 chromosomes in a diploid. Every living organism on the planet has a chromosome number represented by a diploid number (2n).
What is the difference between a living and non-living organism?
Living cell organisms are alive and non-living organisms are dead. There are a number of different criteria for what it means to be living. For instance: metabolism, the ability to react to a stimuli, and so forth. If an organism does not exhibit any of these qualities, it can be concluded that the organism is not living. An example: a table is a non-living thing. A cat is a living thing. the important differences between living things need a suitable habitat that supplies their basic needs for oxygen,food,and water. and non living things don't need a suitable habitat that supplies their basice needs for oxygen,food,and water.
What does population mean in a community?
A population in a community means the specific kind of organism (plants and animals) living in a community (all the living things in an ecosystem)
An organism has a haploid number of 8 what is the organism diploid number?

How many enzymes are required per organism?
The number of genes it has.
How does the number of main elements found in living things compare to the total number of elements in the periodic table?
It is about half
How many chromosomes in most living things?
There is no such number, depending on the organism the number of chromosomes varies from 1 to about 30,000,000!
What DNA provide to a living organism?
DNA provides the information necessary to take a number of lifeless chemicals and turn them into a living system.

What is the effect destruction of natural resources in living organism?
The destruction of natural resources in living organisms can have a negative effect on the ecosystem. destroying the environment where an organism lives can reduce the number of organisms in the area.
Compare the number of chromosomes in an organism's body cells with the number in its reproductive cells?
The reproductive cells of an organism each contribute half of the required genetic material to create the offspring. This means that each reproductive cell has 1n, while the organism has 2n chromosomes.

How many passes would be required in Selection Sort if number of elements are 5?
5 ( 5 - 1 )
How many cells does a living organism have?
Anywhere from one to billions. Every organism is different, and most of the time it's impossible to know the exact number of cells. Also, the number of cells is not constant at all times for most organisms.
How many chromosomes does a horsetail have?
A housefly has 12 chromosomes in a diploid. Every living organism on the planet has a chromosome number represented by a diploid number (2n).
