Vedclass · Answer

(A) When a living tissue is dried,the water content evaporates. When this dried tissue is burnt,the carbon compounds (organic components) are oxidized and released as gaseous forms like $CO_2$ and water vapor. The remaining residue is called 'ash'. This ash contains inorganic elements like calcium,magnesium,potassium,sodium,etc. Therefore,the ash obtained after burning living tissue contains only inorganic elements.
