Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.1EP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The given statement that bioorganic substances are slightly more abundant than bioinorganic substances concerning human body composition, in terms of mass percent has to be validated.
Concept introduction: The chemical substance found in the living organism is called biochemical substance. The biochemical substance is further subdivided into bioinorganic substance and bioorganic substance. Bioinorganic substances do not contain carbon, for example water and inorganic salts. On the other hand bioorganic substances contain carbon, for example lipids and carbohydrates.
(a)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 7.1EP
The statement, bioorganic substances are slightly more abundant than bioinorganic substances concerning human body composition, in terms of mass percent is false.
Explanation of Solution
It is usually misconcepted that the human body contains a major part of the organic substances. The human body has only one-fourth by mass of the organic substances i.e. the carbon contatining substances like the lipids, carbohydrates,
Therefore, bioorganic substances are not slightly more abundant than bioinorganic substances.

The statement, bioinorganic substances are much more abundant than bioorganic substances concerning human body composition, in terms of mass percent is true.
Explanation of Solution
It is usually misconcepted that the human body contains a major part of the organic substances. The human body only has one-fourth by mass of the organic substances i.e. the carbon contatining substances like the lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids while the human body has 70 % of the water, i.e two-third by mass of the body consists of inorganic substances.
Therefore, bioinorganic substances are much more abundant than bioorganic substances.

NBS, peroxide, Aarrow_forwardIn addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…arrow_forward
