Living organisms are made from compounds of three primary elements: hydrogen, oxygen and carbon - the last giving the term "organic chemistry" to describe now that of any carbon compound even if entirely artificial.

There are also other elements in organisms, depending on the specific Biology, including nitrogen, sulphur, calcium and phosphorous, plus traces of others.
