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.

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
Yes, nitrogen is a crucial element found in living organisms. It is a key component of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules essential for life. Organisms obtain nitrogen from the environment and incorporate it into their biological molecules through various metabolic processes.
Over 97 percent of the matter in living things is made up of four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. These elements are essential for building the complex molecules that form the basis of living organisms.
