This chapter discusses the chemical constituents of life. The key elements that make up living matter are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur, which constitute about 90% of the dry weight of the human body. Carbon is particularly important as it can form stable covalent bonds and chains of unlimited length, allowing for the formation of a vast number of compounds. Life is composed of chemical molecules, with a single bacterial cell containing around 6,000 different organic compounds and the human body estimated to contain around 100,000 different molecule types. These molecules include complex biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and enzymes that perform specialized functions and allow life to exist.

The recent trends in Life Sciences have been experiencing rapid
transformation in recent years due to development of technology by
considering available ancient techniques. For this change, most
importunately different scientist was discovered scientific
technologies, methods, concepts, and microorganisms. All this
research helped to develop society in all aspects including medicinal
plants research. Different plants are widely known for their medicinal
properties, food properties, industrial important products formation
properties etc., Due to our improved understanding and different
methodology, even our meanings of familiar words, such as antibiotic
and species appear to be shifting. This book is coordinated towards
students, researchers, scientists and starting alumni understudies in
medicinal plants and Botany. However, the book is fully focused on
different plants and their applications in different fields. We would like
to offer our thanks to all authors, parents, teachers, and friends.

Jonathan Lendrum_Letter of Support_Dr. Sumei LiuJon Lendrum
Jonathan Lendrum is applying for an undergraduate research grant to continue his independent research project testing the links between gut microbiota and brain function. He has already treated mice with antibiotics and a high-fat diet to deplete gut bacteria and alter composition. Analysis of fecal samples will determine changes in gut bacteria populations that may relate to changes he observed in gut permeability and sleep behavior. The additional funding will allow him to use next-generation DNA sequencing to fully analyze the microbial composition changes. His faculty advisor, Dr. Liu, highly recommends him as an independent researcher and is available to advise on data analysis and publishing results.
