What are humans made of?

Answer 1

Girls: sugar and spice and everything nice. Boys: snakes and snails and puppy-dog tails.

OK really.

Humans are composed of structures made up of the following elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), sulfur (S). These 6 elements are required to make the four major macromolecules of biological life, ie. carbs (CHO), fats (largely CH, with small amounts of O), amino acids used to make protein (CHNOS), and nucleic acids to make DNA and RNA (hereditary and functional molecules for cell growth and maintenance made of CHONP).

In addition to the atoms listed above, humans need a wide variety of minerals and vitamins (used for cell communication, enzyme activity, bone structure, muscle function, etc, etc) like calcium (Ca)+2 (key component of bone, and found in blood, used to contract muscle, etc) and potassium (K)+2, magensium, iron (hemoglobin in blood where iron ions are nec. for oxygen transport from lungs to body tissue), zink (used in maintaining DNA structure)....

What is fascinating is that these different elements combine in so many ways, ie bone is structurally different from hair and 'flesh', yet composed of same elements just different amounts of each.

Water (H2O) concentration in humans is about 70%. This water is found largely inside our cells and in our blood stream. Needed to allow for nutrient and waste exchange throughout body cells.

Answer 2

To be totally honest i'm not sure what humans are made of. I can give it a try though. We can say humans are made of cells which in turn converts to tissue, tissues then convert to organs, organs then convert to organ systems and organ system convert to organisms. Truth b told we all know its much complicated than that. The cell starts fr a Zygote, this will then divide into two cells which one will either continue dividing while the other stops and is design to do a specific task in the body or in th organism.

Answer 3

I in part agree that organic issues are greater effective than guy made. The "enormous yet", you're saying Islam is the only authentic faith because of the fact it has no longer replaced because of the fact that is concept, yet furnish no tangible information that it is the authentic faith. I understand you sense this sort as do those in the different religions, yet, what whilst you're all incorrect and not one of the admired religions are the authentic one? could or no longer that is obtainable that all and sundry religions are incorrect? Is there surely A God? And if there is why could He permit the confusion proceed over those many centuries and shop mankind divided against one yet another, making motives for the despicible wars and injustices which take place so often?

Answer 4

Define Human. Is it the physical material being? Or is it the being we call ourselves?

Physically/Materiaistically

As with the previous answer we are made up of essentially 6 elements. We are classed as carbon based life forms. Carbon being the most significat constituent element.

Human/Ourselves

What makes us Human is our free will. So, what is free will made of? It is suggested that 'we' are a form of energy, that has no physical properties.

Answer 5

Humans are composed of many different elements, pure materials in their simplest form. Humans are carbon based, along with being made up of nitrogen, which is present in our DNA. These atoms form molecules of compounds, and these molecules form cells, the smallest building block of a living thing. Cells make up tissues, such as muscle tissue, bone tissue, etc. Tissue makes up organs such as the liver, brain, heart, etc. Organs make up organ systems, such as the spine and brain being part of the nervous system.

Answer 6

Base on what I've known, humans are made of billions and billions of cells. We have 23 chromosomes from dad, and 23 chromosomes from mom. Everything in our body is compose from cells, such as our skin, blood, hair, ect. are compose of micro-cells. thus, i would say that humans made of cells.

but there are other who don't believe in science, said that human come from "stardust". this i'm not sure. but i know that we made from billions of cells.

Answer 7

Humans are made of cells that combine together to form tissues, different tissues combine to form organs, different organs combine to form organ system-different organs that perform certain jobs, different organs functionally combine to form the organism.

Answer 8

Mostly Water

Answer 9

to put it in a nut shell (cells and lots of them)

Answer 10

98% water
