Bioelements in Living Beings
- FUNCTIONS
- • Carbon
- The element carbon is not
found in a pure form in
the human body, but
rather in compounds
within the body.
- Carbon could be
found in proteins,
carboydrates and
fats and it is very
important in the
physiology of body
as well in plants or
animals.
- Carbon constitutes roughly
18 percent of body mass,
and millions of carbon atoms
form the thousands of
molecules in virtually every
cell.

- • Hydrogen
- Hydrogen appears mostly in
our body and basically in all
living beings as water. It is so
important that covers 60% of
the human body.
- -Because of hydrogen: The cells
are able to remain hydrated.
Toxins and waste are able to be
eliminated from the body.
Nutrients are able to be
transported to the cells that
need them. Joints are lubricated,
Immune system is able to send
defensive cells to fight of
infection-causing fungus,
bacterias and viruses.

- • Oxygen
- In the human body, the
oxygen is absorbed by the
blood stream in the lungs,
being then transported to
the cells where an
elaborated change process
takes place.
- Oxygen plays a vital
role in the breathing
processes and in the
metabolism of the
living organisms.
- Probably, the only living cells that
do not need oxygen are some
anaerobic bacteria that obtain
energy from other metabolic
processes.

- • Nitrogen
- Nitrogen is a
component of
amino acids and
urea.
- Their function is
building blocks of all
proteins such as
muscle, tissue and
organs
- Organic nitrogen can
enter septic systems as
bodily wastes, discarded
food material, or as
components of cleaning
agents.

- • Phosphorus
- Phosphorous is a key
structural component in
the backbone of DNA and
RNA
- The body needs
phosphorous to build these
structures to transmit
genetic information and
synthesize protein
- Also Phosphorous is
involved in Metabolism

- • Sulfur
- Sulfur is essential for
plant growth, root
nodule formation and
defense mechanism
- Sulfur forms a part
of a basic substance
that is involved in
oxygen usage.
- Cysteine and
Methionine
cointain Sulfure
- which therefore
means that all
proteins and
enzymes contain
sulfur
