Our body is composed of cells. These cells contains 70% water , inorganic ions and organic compounds. These organic compounds are made up from carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and many more atoms. Atoms combine to form compounds, these compounds, water and many inorganic molecules together form cells and these cells form the main constituent of our body. Cells and atoms are not same.
