What kind of atoms are vegetables made of?
Vegetables are primarily made out of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, like all living things. They have a lot of magnesium (from chlorophyll), phosphorus (present in DNA and RNA), calcium, and various other elements as well.

No , only 2 dozen are present in organisms .
Where is magnesium found in living things and in what amount is it present?

Nutrients are divided into both macronutrients and micronutrients and both enable the body's metabolism to function.
What percentage of the 103 elements are present in living matter?
No, it is not true. Think about it for a moment. There are fewer than 92 naturally occurring non-radioactive elements. If "trace elements" made up 99 percent of something, then at least one of them is present in greater quantity than the remaining one percent. It's pretty silly to call the element which is present in the greatest quantity a trace element.
Are trace elements such as iron and magnesium present in living things in large amounts?
no, small amounts, .02%
Are trace elements such as iron an magnesium present in very large living things?
Trace elements are present in tiny amount, and only 0.2% mass of a human.
How many elements is a living organism composed of?
Living organisms are composed of four main elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. These four elements make up approximately 96% of a living organism's mass. Other elements, such as Phosphorus, Sulfur, Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium, are also present in living organisms, but in smaller amounts. Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Phosphorus Sulfur Potassium Calcium MagnesiumAltogether, there are nine elements that make up a living organism. The proportion of each element can vary significantly, depending on the organism and its environment.
Which element is found in the smallest amount in living matter?
Elements found in small amounts in living things are called trace elements. Among the trace elements that have vital functions in humans and plants are boron, chromium, selenium, and molybdenum. Of course, the natural element present in the smallest amount (not at all), which is not necessary, is francium.
How can living organisms and materials on earth be composed of just a few elements?
living things need other elements but very small amounts
are living organisms made up of only organic compounds?
Living things are composed primarily of organic compounds but the organic compounds also have lots of hydrogen and oxygen with small amounts of other inorganic elements sulfur, copper, magnesium, etc.
How can living organisms and most materials on earth be composed of just a few elements?
living things need other elements but very small amounts

Nutrients that living things need in small amounts are?
they are called trace elements
What are elements present in a living system?
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Helium
What are three most common elements in the body?
Carbon is actually the most common element in our body (in any living organism). Apart from carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are present in considerable amounts.
Which elements are found in significant amounts in living organisms?
The predominant elements in living organisms are the four CHON elements; Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen.
