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
  • Magnesium

Altogether, 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.
