What is the difference between bulk and trace elements?
A bulk element refers to one that an animal needs in large amounts. It is one of the elements that makes up most of the body of a living organism. The four elements that make up most of the living matter are; hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.Any chemical element required by living organisms in minute amounts, usually as part of a vital enzyme (include copper, boron, zinc, manganese,iodine, and cobalt etc) known as trace element .

What elements combine to form chemical compounds in living things?
CarbohydratesLipidsNucleic acidsProteinsRubidiumRubidium is not known to be necessary for any living organisms. However, like caesium, rubidium ions are handled by living organisms in a manner similar to potassium ions: they are actively taken up by plants and living animal cells.

How many elements is a living organism composed of?
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 MagnesiumAltogether, 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.
