The nitrogen and other essential elements in our bodies originate from the food we consume, which is derived from plants and animals. Plants absorb nitrogen from the soil and atmosphere, integrating it into their tissues through processes like photosynthesis. When we eat these plants or animals, we acquire the nitrogen and other nutrients they contain. Additionally, elements like carbon and oxygen come from the air and water, further linking our bodies to the broader environment and the cycle of life.
The four elements that make up over 97% of the matter in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements are essential building blocks for biological molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, which are crucial for life processes.
Nitrogen is a main component of our DNA, which is the genetics material of all living organisms.
No, the four elements commonly found in living things (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) are not unique to living things. These elements are abundant in the universe and can also be found in non-living matter like rocks and gases.
living things get food, water, air, space, shelter, and energy from the environment.
Living things release substances back into the nonliving environment through processes like excretion, decomposition, and respiration. When organisms die, decomposers break down their remains, returning nutrients to the soil or water. Respiration also releases carbon dioxide from living organisms back into the atmosphere.

Questions related to living things and organic matter
The elements that make up the largest portion of living matter are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. These elements are essential for forming the building blocks of life, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
An abiotic environment is an environment of non-living things. A biotic environment is an environment of living things. biotic=living abiotic=non living
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen and the most common in living things.
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, and Nitrogen and the most common in living things.
All living things reproduce. Living things respond to their environment Living things adapt to their environment.
Living things are open systems because they exchange matter and energy with their environment to maintain homeostasis, grow, and reproduce. They rely on inputs from the external environment to sustain their internal processes.
All living things that contain amino acids (that's all of them,because every living thing has RNA and DNA) need nitrogen
There are six items that make up the largest bulk of matter - roughly 95 percent-97 percent (currently being debated). The six things that make up the majority of matter are Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur, and Phosphorous.
Yes, all living things are full of nitrogen including living tssue.
All living things reproduce. Living things respond to their environment Living things adapt to their environment.
