How many types of atoms/elements are used to build live cell?

08 August 2015 1 3K Report

How many prime elements we can get if we analysis a living cell?

Almost 20 types of atoms are used in living cell.

The elements Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S) are found in all living things. If Calcium (Ca) is included, these seven elements make up approximately 99% of the human body (weight).

1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...
