Hydrogen
All the macromolecules in the human body are basically Carbon covalently bonded to other elements- mostly Hydrogen, Oxygen and other carbon atoms. There are other elements, but they don't appear in all of the body's macromolecules.It is Carbon.
Element composition of the human body: 65% Oxygen 18% CARBON 10% Hydrogen 7% All other elements
Oxygen is element that is found in the highest percentage by weight in the human body. The body consists of 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium, 1% phosphorus, and other elements with increments of less than 1%.
The least complex organization of the human body is the chemical level, which involves atoms and molecules coming together to form basic structures like proteins and DNA. This level is the most basic building block of all living organisms.
The smallest unit of life in the human body is the cell. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms, including humans. There are trillions of cells in the human body, each performing specific functions to maintain life.
The smallest element in the human body is the atom. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter, including the various elements that make up the human body, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Carbon.
carbon
All the atoms have the same number of protons (element type).
Carbon and/or hydrogen.
The number of protons is identical in all atoms of an element.
A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.
Oxygen is about 63% of the human body by mass. Oxygen is in many biological molecules, but most of it is in water. Numerically, hydrogen atoms represent 63% of all atoms in the human body. That varies too, because many of the hydrogen are abound up in water and water content varies. Water by itself can be 63% of the mass of a human. (It varies with age, gender, muscle and and body fat, but is 55-65% for adults and more for children.) As one can see, many things are 63% of the human body.
When all atoms in a substance are alike, the substance is an element. Each element is composed of atoms that have the same number of protons in their nucleus.
All atoms in the beginning were hydrogen atoms.
Because they are all the same type of atoms. Oxygen is an element. If you have 10 oxygen atoms, they will all behave like oxygen, since they are the same element.
All atoms of any single element have the same number of protons and electrons.
