Cells are the building blocks of life, yet atoms and molecules are smaller than cells. Why are cells, not atoms, the basic building blocks of life?

What happens as electrons move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain? they gain energy, which causes atp molecules to lose phosphate groups. they gain energy, which causes h *ions to join with oxygen to produce water. they lose energy, which is then used by the cell to make atp. they lose energy, which is then used to break down atp.
