Question
All the living organisms are basically made up of C, N, S, P, H and O. How do they enter the living forms? Discuss.
Solution
The basic components of many biomolecules are C, N, S, P, H, and O. Living creatures are composed of countless biomolecules, the majority of which enter the living world via plants. Photosynthesis is the source of carbon. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria fix nitrogen in the soil so that plants can absorb nitrogenous substances. Sulphur and phosphorus exist in soil as minerals and are absorbed by plants together with water. When plants take water, they absorb hydrogen and oxygen. When animals drink water, they absorb hydrogen and oxygen as well. Living beings absorb oxygen by inhaling it as well. Finally, these elements are absorbed by animals when they consume plants, either directly or indirectly.
