THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP ME I WILL MARK BRAINLLIEST Are atoms and molecules alive? Why or why not?

(This is 7th grade science)

No

Explanation:

Atoms and molecules are not alive as they do not exhibit all, or any, of the eight characteristics of life. Cell theory also states that a cell is the smallest unit of life, and atoms and molecules are much, much smaller than a cell — in fact, they make up cells.

Therefore, they are not considered living things.

I hope this helped you, and if you would like a more in-depth explanation, please let me know!
