The most common element in biological molecules is hydrogen. The second most common is carbon. Then probably oxygen and nitrogen.
Sulfur and phosphate show up too, but they are not as common

Is it true carbon is a componet of almost all biological substances?
Carbon is present in all organic substances, which is why we are called 'carbon-based lifeforms'.
Yes or no carbon is a component of almost all biological substances?
Yes, all living forms are usually made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
An element that is almost all rocks and is the second most abundant element on earth?
silicon
How do enzymes affect reactions in living cells?
Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
What molecules are found in all or almost all organic compounds?
Hydrogen and Carbon
Where was nitrogen found?
The element nitrogen was discovered by Daniel Rutherford, a Scottish physician in 1772. Nitrogen occurs in all living organisms - a constituent element of amino acids and thus of proteins, and of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA); resides in the chemical structure of almost all neurotransmitters; and is a defining component of alkaloids, biological molecules produced by many organisms.
Is it true carbon is a componet of almost all biological substances?
Carbon is present in all organic substances, which is why we are called 'carbon-based lifeforms'.
Yes or no carbon is a component of almost all biological substances?
Yes, all living forms are usually made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Which element from CFC's come into contact most with ozone molecules?
Chlorine comes into contact with ozone most. It destroys almost 100,000 molecules of ozone at a single time.
What is a Biological Membrane?
A biological membrane or biomembrane is an enclosing that acts as a barrier within or around a cell. It is, almost always, a lipid bilayer, composed of a double layer of lipid-class molecules, specifically phospholipids, with occasional proteins intertwined, some of which function as channels chris mama
Biological importance of water?
Water is an essential component for the survival of organisms. Some of its importance include: being a universal solvent, involved in almost all biochemical processes in the body, and its thermal properties are suitable to support life.
Element reacts with almost every element?
Fluorine
What is major role of butaphosphan in dairy animals?
butaphosphan provides the organic phosphorus to the bodybutaphosphan is the main component of ATP butaphosphan influences almost all the biological process in the body botaphosphan are involved in the countless no.of enzymetic and anabolic reaction
What molecules can you EAT?
Every food is made up of molecules so almost all of them
Can an element be separated into its elements using physical properties?
An element is the basic purist substance , it is composed of atoms of same kind ,not of elements hence an element can't be separated in elements , your question is wrong . A compound can be separated in component elements .
Enzymes are examples of?
Enzymes are a special kind of bio molecules called proteins that catalyse rate of reactions.
What component of air is needed by all body's cells?
Oxygen is needed by your body cells. You have got almost 20 % oxygen in the air. Rest is almost nitrogen and traces of other gases including carbon bi oxide. Oxygen is necessary for the biological oxidation process in the body. Every living cell of the body needs the same.
