In sociology and psychology, some definitions include only consciously malignant forms of discrimination. Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes.
A cell is much, much larger than an atom. A typical animal cell might be 10,000 times as wide, long, and tall as a typical atom, or about 1 trillion times the volume of an atom. Another way to arrive at this answer is to consider the fact that cells are made up of atoms, so the atoms must therefore be smaller.
This is not exactly accurate; while atoms are matterâthe smallest pieces of matter you can findâmolecules are the smallest bits of compounds. And particles arenât matter, but the building blocks of it. For example, copper is an element. A copper atom is the smallest piece of copper that exists. Hydrogen is also an element; two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom combine to form a molecule of water, which is a compound. While atoms are the tiniest bits of matter, they are made of the sub-atomic building blocks of matterâprotons and electronsârevolving around a nucleus.
