Atom refers to a tiny particle, which is the basic building block of all the substances and whose properties determine the characteristics of an element made up of only of those atoms.  

All the living and nonliving matter in this world are made up of atoms and elements. Everything in the universe is matter, and matter comprises elements. Some of the elements are important to living things.  

Elements are formed by atoms, and atoms comprise protons, electrons, and neutrons. The number of protons in an element's atom signifies the identity of the element.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Breathing heavily after you have finished running a race is your body way of repaying an oxygen debt.

Explanation:

Any kind of exercise that is performed makes our muscles work harder. As a result, more calories get burned by these muscles. To burn the extra calories, more supply of oxygen is required by the muscles. As you exercise harder, the breathing increases and become heavier to bring more oxygen to the lungs. From the lungs, the oxygen is carried to the muscles which are burning more calories.

You breathe heavily at the end of a race to get enough supply of oxygen.
