What chemical compounds does the human body consist of? Oxygen (65%) and hydrogen (10%) are predominantly found in water‚ which makes up about 60 percent of the body by weight. It’s practically impossible to imagine life without water. Carbon (18%) is synonymous with life. Its central role is due to the fact that it has four bonding sites that allow for the building of long‚ complex chains of molecules. Moreover‚ carbon bonds can be formed and broken with a modest amount of energy‚ allowing
