If the elemental analysis is done on a sample of human cheek cells, we observe the list of elements that are also present in Earth's crust.
It is also observed that there is certain difference in the percentage of respective elements.
Choose the correct difference among the following options.
1. Relative abundance of carbon and calcium w.r.t. other elements is higher in Earth's crust that human body.
2. There is a significant high amount of nitrogen and silicon in both.
3. Relative abundance of carbon and hydrogen w.r.t. other elements is higher in human body than in earth's crust.
4. Silicon and sulphur are least abundant in Earth's crust and human body respectively.
