D. A,D,C,F,B,E

Answer

To arrange the organic components of a cell in ascending order based on their percentages in total cellular mass, we need to first identify the approximate percentage of each component in a typical cell. Here’s the breakdown:

1. **Mineral Ions**: Approximately 1%
2. **Lipids**: Approximately 2%
3. **Carbohydrates**: Approximately 3%
4. **Nucleic Acids**: Approximately 5-7%
5. **Proteins**: Approximately 10-15%
6. **Water**: Approximately 70-90%

Now, let's place these components in ascending order based on their percentages:

1. **Mineral Ions** (1%)
2. **Lipids** (2%)
3. **Carbohydrates** (3%)
4. **Nucleic Acids** (5-7%)
5. **Proteins** (10-15%)
6. **Water** (70-90%)

So, the order from the lowest to the highest percentage is:

1. Mineral Ions
2. Lipids
3. Carbohydrates
4. Nucleic Acids
5. Proteins
6. Water

Thus, the final ascending order based on their percentages in total cellular mass is:

**Mineral Ions < Lipids < Carbohydrates < Nucleic Acids < Proteins < Water**
