The simple answer is both. However, you ask the question thinking that atoms and cells are two distinct units, which they are not. The atom is a basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of an organism that is classified as living, and is often called the building brick of life. In other words, all cells are made up of atoms. Indeed, all matter on Earth is made of atoms, however all life of Earth are made of cells. Therefore to clarify, all living things including our bodies, would be made up of cells, which are in turn made up of atoms. However, some non-living things such as rocks or minerals would be made up of atoms, and contain no cells.

Do you have electrons in your body?
Yes. Your body is made up of cells. Cells are made up of atoms at the atomic level. All atoms have electrons. Ergo, your body has electrons.
What is bigger atom or cell?
A cell is larger, as it is composed of many atoms of different elements.
What is the material that makes up an object?
objects are made of atoms, which make molecules. The basic unit of life is the cell
Is it formed with atoms is cells?
All matter, is made up of Atoms. Essentially everything formed within a cell is formed of Atoms, but that is not the direct connection. Atoms make up molecules, and molecules make up cells.
Are molecules in your body?
Yes, there are atoms in everything, including the human body, inside and out. Everything that you can see is composed of atoms.
Where is hydrogen in your body?
In every cell of the body. Water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
What is the smallest unit of life in the human body?
The smallest living unit is the cell, which is made up of molecules, which in turn is made up of atoms, but neither molecules nor atoms are alive.
Do you have electrons in your body?
Yes. Your body is made up of cells. Cells are made up of atoms at the atomic level. All atoms have electrons. Ergo, your body has electrons.
Is an atom part of the body?
The body is made up of atoms.
Is matter made up of your body?
Matter makes up your body, matter is made of Atoms and molecules!
What is a cell made of?
cells are made up of cell organelles, cell organelles are made up of chemical compounds, chemical compounds are made up of matter, matter is made up of atoms, atoms are made up of charge (electrons, protons and neutrons). Biologically human cells are made up of water, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and other elements (metals) and elements like oxygen, carbon etc. are made up of charge (electrons, protons and neutrons) Therefore we can conclude by saying that a human body on the whole is made up of charge or energy
What is bigger atom or cell?
A cell is larger, as it is composed of many atoms of different elements.
Which is bigger molecule or cell?
A molecule is two or more atoms which have been chemically bonded and a cell is made up of atoms so technically a molecule could be bigger than a cell but in reality most cells are bigger than molecules seeing as they are made up of them
How are Atoms and Molecules and Cells similar?
Cells are made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of energy. :) Hope I helped!!
What is the material that makes up an object?
objects are made of atoms, which make molecules. The basic unit of life is the cell
What is smaller an element or a cell?
Elements(atoms) are the smallest indivisible units of matter. Cells are made up of various atoms.
Is atom the simplest building block of the body?
Not really. Atoms themselves are made up of smaller parts, and the body isn't really made of individual atoms, but rather of collections of atoms called molecules.
