Answer :

This is a question much asked on the internet which leads me to believe it is a homework question. I do not believe in just giving students the answer as that would be cheating the student of the benefits of learning on their own. My suggestion is for you to click this link http://www.am.dodea.edu/ny_va/quantico/qmhs/homeworkHotline/documents/elementsoflivingthings.pdf read the pages and find your answer there. Good luck!
