the matter is made up of cells
We are made up of cells and cells are made up of atoms.
These atoms combine to form compounds like Carbohydrates (Compound having Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen) such as Glucose (which provides energy), Genetic material (DNA made up of mainly Phosphorous, Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen), Plasma Membrane (made up of Lipid bilayer constituting Phosphate and Fatty acid chain).
Hence, we can say that the human body is made up of matter.
