1. What did you learn from the article?

 Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with bone cells being
comprised of 31% water and the lungs 83%.1 Therefore, it isn’t surprising that
most of a human body’s mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basin unit for organic
molecules, comes in second. 96.2% of the mass of the human body is made up of
just four elements: Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen.

2. Which elements can be found in a human’s blood and bones?

 A human’s blood contains mainly red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Red blood cells contain the element iron, which is essential for transporting
oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells are responsible for fighting
infections and can contain elements such as potassium, sulfur, and chlorine.
Platelets are responsible for clotting and can contain calcium and magnesium.

 In contrast, human bones contain a variety of elements, including calcium,

phosphorus, magnesium, and trace amounts of other elements such as zinc, copper
and manganese. These elements give bones their strength, contribute to bone
density, and play a role in maintaining overall bone health.

3. What was the connection of the article you read to the lesson about the formation of
elements?

 The low-mass elements, hydrogen and helium, were produced in the hot, dense
conditions of the birth of the universe itself. The birth, life, and death of a star are
described in terms of nuclear reactions. The chemical elements that make up the
matter we observe throughout the universe were created in this reaction.
