Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you.

Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom, called the nucleus, and the electrons 'orbit' the nucleus. A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons.

Protons and neutrons are both composed of other particles called quarks and gluons. Protons contain two 'up' quarks and one 'down' quark while neutrons contain one 'up' quark and two 'down' quarks. The gluons are responsible for binding the quarks to one another.

How are Atoms and Molecules and Cells similar?

Atoms are the building blocks of molecules, molecules are formed when atoms bond together, and cells are made up of molecules that carry out functions necessary for life. All three are fundamental levels of organization in the universe, with atoms being the smallest unit, molecules being combinations of atoms, and cells being the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.


Is cancer made of atoms or elements?

Cancer is made of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of all matter, including elements. The atoms in cancer cells interact to form molecules, which make up the structure and function of cells.

Do cells make up atoms?

No. Atoms are the smallest units of matter, and cells are made up of atoms grouped in molecules (which are collections of atoms). Think about it like this: Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter, but cells are the basic building blocks of life. Also cells have directives, and they also make up life. Atoms make up cells which make up life.


Are atoms in cells?

Yes, atoms are the building blocks of cells. Cells are made up of various atoms such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements that combine to form molecules which make up the structures and functions of cells.
