Why do you think living things are not made up of uranium plutionium or other high numberd elements?
Living things are primarily composed of lighter elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen because these elements form stable and diverse molecular structures essential for biological processes. Heavier elements like uranium and plutonium are radioactive and unstable, making them unsuitable for the complex chemical reactions and stability required for life. Additionally, the properties of lighter elements allow for the formation of the organic molecules necessary for life's functions, while heavier elements do not possess the same versatility.
What else can I help you with?
What element is not found in most organic compounds?
Uranium. Also fluorine, lead, any of the noble gases, all the lanthanides, gold, silver, copper...
What 4 elements make up a living person?
The four elements that make up a living person are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. These elements are essential for building and maintaining the biochemistry of living organisms.
Are the 4 elements found in a living thing unique to living things?
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.
How common is uranium in nature?
The concentration of uranium in living beings is very different. In the human body the mean concentration is 0,000 000 003 % (atomic). Of course workers in the uranium industry and peoples living near uranium plants, mines and regions rich in uranium has a greater concentration of U in the body.
How might elements connect living and non living organisms?
Living organisms can interact with non-living elements through processes like respiration (using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide), photosynthesis (using sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce energy), and nutrient acquisition (absorbing minerals from soil). Non-living elements like water, minerals, and gases are essential for the survival and growth of living organisms. Additionally, geological processes like weathering and erosion can influence the distribution and availability of elements for both living and non-living systems.
Is uranium formed from many living organisms?
Any link of uranium with the living organisms.
Is uranium living?
No, no, no !!!
Elements that is not found in living system?
Elements like gold, silver, and platinum are not typically found in significant quantities within living systems. These elements are not essential for life processes and are not typically taken up by organisms for basic biological functions.
Does uranium come from a living organism?
No, but a living organism can get uranium poisoning. Scientists say that all the Earths uranium came from 1 or more supernovae about 6 billion years ago.
What happens when your body lacks uranium?
Uranium is not necessary for the organism of any living form.
