Water is one of the most important chemical basis of life. It gives energy to all living things. Oxygen is also a chemical element that a lot of living thing need to survive. Carbon is a chemical element that we as humans use as fuel. Hydrogen is another chemical basis of life. Hydrogen is also a fuel of some sort. Astronauts use hydrogen for rocket fuel. Nitrogen is used for fertilizer and different dyes. Alanine is a small non-essential amino acid in humans, Alanine is one of the most widely used for protein construction and is involved in the metabolism of tryptophan and vitamin pyridoxine.

Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight. Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and hydrogen are the four most important chemical basis of life. They are all found in the human body. They all share very important roles. They all work together to keep the body healthy. These four elements are crucial to our lives. All of these elements make up 96% of the whole human body.
