In summary if we represent the chemical composition of living tissue from abundance point of view and arrange them class-wise, we observe that water is the most abundant chemical in living organisms (Table 9.4).
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
While analysing biomass and earth’s crust, the same elements qualitatively but different relative abundances; in living tissue the relative abundance of C and H is higher. Which further observation aligns and extends this analysis?
Correct answer: B — Water is most abundant in cells and micromolecules dominate acid-soluble pool
Both contain same elements, but C and H enriched in living matter. Water forms ~70–90% of cells; acid-soluble pool carries micromolecules like sugars and amino acids.
