Question

Identify the term 'ash' in terms of living tissue sample analysis from the statements given below. (A) Organic compounds oxidised to gaseous form ( CO 2. and water vapour) after burning of the tissue (B) The material left after burning the tissue, which contains inorganic elements such as calcium, magnesium, etc (C) Compounds removed in the form of gases (D) Compounds which may be soluble in intracellular fluid

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

After burning the dry tissue, all the organic compounds are oxidised to gaseous form ( CO 2. and water vapour) and are removed. The material left which contains inorganic elements (e.g. calcium, magnesium, etc) is termed 'ash'.
