So even the nucleotides of DNA are formed of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, and hydrogen, right?
And phosphorus, too.
A broader question is, is everything in the known universe made of elements from the periodic table?
Everything we can actually see may well be. The insides of neutron stars and white dwarfs were once periodic table residents but have been squashed to something else - but we don't see it directly.
