Question

a new organism is discovered at the bottom of the ocean. a scientist is determining the composition of elements found in the tissues of the organism. which elements will most likely be found? carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen carbon, nitrogen, aluminum, and gold silver, gold, argentum, and sulfur carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and argentum

Explanation:

All living organisms are composed of organic molecules. Organic molecules are primarily made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These elements are the building blocks for biomolecules such as carbohydrates (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen), proteins (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen), and nucleic acids (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus). The other options include elements like aluminum, gold, silver, and argentum (silver) which are not major components of living tissues.

Answer:

carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
