Carbon and hydrogen are the only elements in allmolecules in living things.
After that come oxygen and nitrogen, but these are not in all molecules in living things.
All living cells and organic compounds are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. This includes all protiens, fats and carbohydrates that we consume as nutrients.
Hydrocarbons are made of Carbon and Hydrogen. This includes products such as fuel oil, methane, ethane, butane, benzene, paraffin; all of which can be burn for fuel.

Why is the study of chemistry important to understanding of living things?
Because living things are made of chemicals and there are millions of chemical reactions taking place in the body every second. The majority of the body is made of water which is h2o ( hydrogen and oxygen) which are just simple molecules and elements. All cells and all living organisms are made of atoms.
Are molecules the same as cells?
*Molecules-They are made from fused elements-They are nonliving*Cells-They aren't made from fused elements-They are living-Also, are made of many parts like the cell membrane and Mitochondria the make the cell work and do things
Do nonliving things have molecules?
No only living things have molecules and dna however non living things do have compounds
