  1. I don't know all 15 but here are some of what I know:

    Carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, lipids, salts, nucleic acids


  2. Compounds or elements. For compounds I would say H2O. For emelents I would say Carbon.

  3. 1. Calcium - bone, teeth, blood clotting, normal muscle function

    2. Chlorine - in the form of chloride for electrolyte balance

    3. Copper - protection against cell damage (antioxidation)

    4. Flouride - prevents tooth decay

    5. Iodine - maintenance of thyroid function

    6. Iron  - important component of hemoglobin

    7. Magnesium - formation of bone and teeth

    8 Phosphorous - formation of bone and teeth

    9. Potassium - normal nerve and muscle formation

    10. Zinc - Healthy skin and healing of wounds

    11. Oxygen - support life processes

    12. Carbon - basic organic compound

    13. Water - 92% of the human body

    14. Nitrogen - *forgot the reason, sorry*

    15. Sodium - body salt and sodium-potassium pump in the brain

  4. There are plenty we can't do without.

    The main one, of course, is water.

    Water, haemoglobin, thyroxine, insulin, epinephrine, the list is almost endless.

  5. well H2O is the most inportant compound in human body coz abt 70 to 80% body weight is due to the presence of water..another important compond is haemoglobin which is a complex haem protein(made up of iron compounds) conjugated to a protein..haemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen in body tissues and removal of CO2 frm the body..other compounds are---carbohydrates,which act as source of energy to the body,fats which also act as energy source for the body...proteins,which are important for growth and repair of body tissues..vitamins,which have distinctive functions in body..minerals,which regulate different metabolic activities of the cell..HCl,which is responsible for digestion of food in stomach..adrenaline and non adrenaline and acetylcholine which are neurotransmitters...NaCl which is responsible for impulse conduction and in maintaning elecrolyte balace in body... H2CO3(carbonic acid), which plays a vital role in chloride shift or hamburger's phenomenon..well i hope this will be of some help to u................
