The living tissues has the following composition of the bio-molecules:
Water- 65% (represented by the fraction K)
Nucleic acids 3% (represented by fraction J)
Minerals 3%(represented by fraction L)
Lipids 8% (represented by fraction W)
Saccharides 9% (represented by fraction Z)
Proteins 12% (represented by fraction Y)
Hence, the correct answer is 'W'
