===Scientific definition=== A definition of "matter" that is based upon its physical and chemical structure is: matter is what atoms and molecules are made of, meaning anything made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. This definition is consistent with the BIPM definition of "amount of substance" above, but is more specific about the constituents of matter (and unconcerned about the unit mole). Further discussion appears below in the discussion section and in the description of the quarks and leptons definition. As an example of matter under this definition, genetic information is carried by a long molecule called DNA, which is copied and inherited across generations. It is matter under this definition because it is made of atoms, not by virtue of having mass or occupying space. [[Category: Science]]
