5. The building blocks of life use these elements as follows:
CARBOHYDRATES(sugar, starch, etc) C,H,O almost equally
PROTEINS – C, H, O, N, S, Ph
FATS – C, H, very little O, “Phospho-lipids” also contain Phosphorus & some Nitrogen
NUCLEIC ACIDS(DNA & RNA) – C, H, O, N, P

6. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE HUMAN BODY WEIGHING 65KG

7. Water Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Minerals Vitamins
To provide body fluid and to help regulate body temperature
Carbohydrates
As fuel for energy for body heat and work
Fats
As fuel for energy and essential fatty acids
Proteins
For growth and repair
Minerals
For developing body tissues and for metabolic processes and protection
Vitamins
For metabolic processes and protection
Indigestible and unabsorbable particles, including fiber
To form a vehicle for other nutrients, add bulk to the diet, provide a habitat for bacterial flora and assist proper elimination of refuse

8. The living cell is a symphony of thousands of chemical reactions all miraculously timed and coordinated to perform all the functions necessary for life. 

9. Cells are membrane bounded compartments filled with a concentrated solution of chemicals and salts.

10. Body Composition Body cell mass – 55 %
Extracellular supporting tissue – 30%
Body fat – 15%
