The six most common elements in living things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Atoms of these elements combine and form thousands of large molecules. These large molecules make up the structures of cells and carry out many processes essential to life.

Other elements are also important to the proper functioning of organisms. These elements include sodium, chlorine, fluorine, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Uranium is a radioactive element and it damages cells of living organisms.
