Biochemistry: An Integrative Approach with Expanded Topics,
1st Edition
Tansey, 2020 | Chapters 1–25
CHAPTER 1: The Chemical Foundations of Biochemistry
Question 1
Which of the following elements is NOT one of the six most abundant elements in
living organisms?
A) Carbon
B) Hydrogen
C) Iron
D) Nitrogen
E) Oxygen
Answer: C
Explanation: The six most abundant elements in living organisms are carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus (CHONSP). Iron is a trace
element essential for certain biological functions but is not among the six most
abundant.
Difficulty: Easy
Learning Objective: Identify the major elements composing biological molecules.
