an atom
Actually, the smallest unit of matter is called a Quark. Quarks combine to form protons and neutrons, which are the core of an atom.

What is the basic structural unit of living matter?
the basic structural unit of living matter is THE ATOM
What do scientist call basic unit of life?
The basic, smallest unit of life, is the cell.
What is the smallest unit of all matter that makes up an element?
An atom.
Is cell or particle smaller?
When you consider the composition of living and non living things, both can be broken down into what comprises them. If one considers non-living matter, then "particle" may be used to describe the smallest unit. As knowledge advances, a "particle" by definition has evolved i.e., quarks being the smallest "particle" of an atom whereas for years it was thought that the atom was the smallest unit of matter. Conversely, the cell is considered the smallest unit of organic (living) matter The only major difference between them is that a cell is the smallest particle of a living object and a molecule (made up of atoms) is the smallest unit of a nonliving object.
What is the basic unit of matter?
The basic unit of matter is the atom.Every material object, or substance that can be touched and felt, is made up of atoms. Everything that is solid, liquid, or gas is made up of atoms. An atom's size is measured in pictometers (trillionths of a meter).
What is the basic structural unit of living matter?
the basic structural unit of living matter is THE ATOM
Fundamental unit of matter?
A cell is a basic unit of structure. The smallest unit of matter is an atom.
Is the atom the smallest division of matter?
The smallest unit of matter without losing its basic properties is the atom. However, the actual smallest known units of matter are quarks and leptons, which are pieces of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are found inside atoms.
What do scientist call basic unit of life?
The basic, smallest unit of life, is the cell.
What is the basic unit of an organism?
A cell is the basic and smallest unit of an organism.
What is the smallest unit of matter that can exist by itself and retain all of a substance's chemical properties?
This smallest unit of matter is the atom.
What is the level comprised of the smallest stable units of matter?
the smallest STABLE unit of matter IS an atom
What is the smallest chemical unit of matter?
The smallest unit of a chemical element is the iron.
What is the smallest complete unit of matter?
The smallest unit of matter is an atom, which is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, while electrons are thought to be fundamental particles.
The smallest unit that can perform basic activities of life is?
a taradactol
What is the smallest basic blocks of matter?
an atom
The smallest unit of all matter is an?
atom
