Eli5: What are human body cells made of?

471 views

I were never good at Biology, but always wanted to know what a cell is actually made off. I know there are some little things in the cell, but what I meant, what chemical elements is one made off?

I suppose mostly of H2O, but maybe something else. That’s why I’m here, as I couldn’t find anything online. Maybe I’m just too stupid to find things on the web, but anyways, I would love to know it. Thank you guys!

You are getting good answers here. Mostly Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Iodine in the thyroid, Iron in the blood, etc.

If you can hang with it, [Crash Course Biology](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EED4C1D684D3ADF). can answer a lot of questions.
