    Default Water comprises/is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen.

    1.Water comprises hydrogen and oxygen.

    2. Water is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen.


    Are the both grammatical and same in meaning?

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
