Ecolink is right. CHONPS... Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. Phosphorus is very important... all cell membranes are made of a bilayer of phospholipids not to mention ATP and DNA.... don't forget the Phosphorus.

There is only one basic element of life: God. Other than that, life is found in every element (air, space, water, earth and fire), at all times (past, present and future) and in all situations (love, hate, war, peace, etc).

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Many other elements are needed also (in smaller quantities), such as calcium for bones and iron for hemoglobin. Half your body weight is oxygen.
