Where are the atoms in cells?

Asked by NorbertFish4 (99points) April 23rd, 2011

I’ve heard there are hundreds or thousands of atoms in a single living cell, however what I can’t figure out is where they all are.
I know how cell are made up and what is inside them (e.g. nucleus, cell membrane, etc.) but I don’t understand where all these atoms go, and how they all fit into a space just that small.
