Question

Which of the following four statements, if any, is true regarding essential elements and living organisms? ANSWER Unselected All of the listed responses are true. Unselected The elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen make up 20–25 percent of living mass. Unselected All organisms require 25 of the 92 naturally occurring elements to survive. Unselected Although all forms of life require iron, other elements are required only by certain species. Unselected Given their low concentrations in nature, the toxicity of some elements is generally not a factor in the evolution of biological communities.

00:01 Hello everyone in this question we have been asked which of the statements are not true.
00:06 So let's start with the first part.
00:09 It says that nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen are trace elements in living cells, which is a wrong.
00:17 These elements in living organisms are copper, selenium, chromium, zinc, molybdenum, etc.
00:27 In part 2, they say that some naturally occurring elements like iron and zinc are toxic to living beings, living cells, which is a wrong statement.
00:40 Then option 3 says a patient suffering from goiter disease should not consume salt enriched with iodine, which is a wrong statement because a person suffering from goiter has lack of iodine in them...
