Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all.

These cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.
    Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes andeukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.
    Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. ... These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles.

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weatheris what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.
    Standard sea-level pressure, by definition, equals 760 mm (29.92 inches) of mercury, 14.70 pounds per square inch, 1,013.25 × 10 3 dynes per square centimetre, 1,013.25 millibars, one standard atmosphere, or 101.325 kilopascals.
