That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of an element. It is composed of a nucleus, which contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Atoms combine to form molecules, which are made up of two or more atoms bonded together. Cells, on the other hand, are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms, while the nucleus is the central part of a cell that contains genetic material. Therefore, the correct answer is atom.
