Na+ 3. CO2 4. K+ 5. cholesterol 6. glucose 7. H2O 8. C1- 9. estrogen or testosterone

  • Answer:

    Since human hormones estrogen, testosterone and cholesterol are on the list I think you should resubmit this to medicine. As a plant physiologist I can guess, but I might guess wrong for human cells.
