Which one element makes up the majority of your body weight? Which one element makes up the majority of your body weight? carbon water oxygen hydrogen

Answer 1

oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Your body is mostly water. And water is, by weight, mostly oxygen. (There are two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom in water, but one atom of oxygen has much more mass than one atom of hydrogen). That is why, if you weigh 150 pounds, about 100 of those pounds is oxygen.

Answer 2

carbon

The element that makes up the majority of the bodyweight of all living organisms is carbon.

The body of organisms is made up of minerals and molecules of life, otherwise known as organic compounds. The molecules include protein, carbohydrate, lipids, etc. All the molecules are largely made up of carbon together with other elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and sulfur.
