Integrated Circuit is not exactly correct.
The circuit contains 100s and even 1000s of Transistors. The transistor is the basic building block.

A diode when forward biased will allow the flow of current while reverse biasing will cut off the flow of current. It is the basic building block of any semiconductor.
The collective noun is a block of buildings.
The basic block diagram consists of a modulator which may be a product modulator or a balanced modulator. The audio input signal is fed to the input of the modulator and there it is being multiplied by the carrier signal which is generated by using a oscillator. This block diagram in its crude form is given by:
A transistor can do this... However, a single transistor can not "remember". It takes several transistors to form one single memory "bit", depending on technology. We think of computer-memory as bits that in turn form byte. The basic building block for computers are transistors, but it is the "bit's" they form that can turn electricity on and off, hence forming the binary value of 1 or 0.
The basic building block of matter is the atom.

An Atom. Molecules are two or more atoms chemically combined. Atoms are the basic building block of matter.
