Bioelements
• All elements necessary for them maintenance of life
• Without these elements life on the planet earth is impossible
• These are categorized into three groups • Major or principal elements• Minor elements• Trace elements

Major or Principal elements
• These are elements present in abundance in life forms
• These elements constitute about 93% of any life form
• This category contain only nonmetals • This group includes hydrogen oxygen carbon
and nitrogen
