What contains only elements that are commonly found in living organisms?

Your answer is your question. Living organisms contain only elements that are commonly found in living organisms. Now if you knew how to pose a question without an entire universe of variables you might get a better answer. Oh and while you are getting specific enough that someone else could possibly understand your question try not to use two mutually exclusive terms in the same question. Only and commonly in the same question makes it even harder to understand what you are talking about. Why not stick to perfectly normal nonsensical questions? Here are some examples... What if dogs were cats? How many aliens are inside one persons imagination? Why is my coffee colder than it was when I bought it?
