Chapter 10 Very briefly…
Objectives Students will be able to: Name the 6 most commonly found elements in all living things. Explain why carbon is essential to life
LEFTQuestion 1 Recall what were the 6 most common elements in ALL living things?
Left - CHONPS C = Carbon H = Hydrogen O = Oxygen N = Nitrogen P = Phosphorus S = Sulfur
LEFTQuestion 2 Where do we get the elements we need?
