Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Buddy here's ur answer

Silicon ( Si) is the element which is negligible in living matter

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) Si

Explanation:

• Mg is needed for various enzyme activation in living organisms.

• S is an essential constituent of amino acids so found in living matter.

• Si is the second most abundant element found in the earth's crust i.e. in non-living matter which is around 27.7% weight of the earth's crust.

• As compared to non-living matter,it is present in 1-2 gm in a living matter which is almost negligible. Si concentrates in no particular organ of the body.

• Silicon is thus the least abundant or negligible element in the living matter.

Hence option (a) Si is the correct answer.
