The basic elements of life reflect the composition of various elements in the universe. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance, comprising 75% of the Universe. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the Universe, it is a highly reactive substance that readily forms compounds notably H20 (water). The cells in a dog’s body consist of 65 to 90% water. The fourth most abundant element in the Universe is carbon, by mass C (carbon) is second in the dog’s body composition.
Paramount to learning and researching bio chemistry is to recognize the simplicity and know the complexities. VitaHound’s first tactic is to observe various compounds as their encompassing elements, therefor you should recognize that a dog’s body is primarily comprised of H2O rather than simply identifying the compound water. This method identifies the relationship between a dog’s biological functions and the substances required to support the optimal health of those functions and relationship to their environment.
A quick view of the element composition of a dog’s body illustrates the few elements involved in life. The average dog’s body by mass;
1. Oxygen (65%)
2. Carbon (18%)
3. Hydrogen (10%)
4. Nitrogen (3%)
5. Calcium (1.5%)
6. Phosphorus (1.0%)
7. Potassium (0.35%)
8. Sulfur (0.25%)
9. Sodium (0.15%)
10. Magnesium (0.05%)
11. Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%)
