Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Various forms of living organisms is seen in our biosphere.
All living organisms are formed by similar type of elements or chemicals.
If we perform elemental analysis on a plant tissue, animal tissue or a microbial paste, we obtain a list of elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and several others and their respective content per unit mass of a living tissue.
If the same analysis is performed on a piece of earth.s crust as an example of nonliving matter, we obtain a similar list.
All the elements present in a sample of earth.s crust are also present in a sample of living tissue. However, the relative abundance of carbon and hydrogen with respect to other elements is higher in any living organism than in earth.s crust.
