D. Sodium found in the lowest amounts in both the cell wall and cell membrane.
Explanation:
- In cells, hydrogen (H) is the most abundant element, followed by carbon (C), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and sulphur (S). These substances are known as macronutrients and they make up around 99 percent of the dry weight of cells.
- Some micronutrients or trace elements, such as sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) or vanadium (Va) are required by some cells in extremely minute amounts.
- All of these elements are required for the proper functioning of many metabolic reactions and as a result are necessary for life.
