An atom is the smallest particle of an element, and has unique chemical identities.

the ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions. EX: Temperature, blood
pressure, and body weight.

Matter and energy tend to flow down gradients such as differences in chemical
concentration, pressure, temperature, and electrical charge. This accounts for
much of their movement in human physiology.
