The atom is the basis of everything.
Atoms themselves are made up of different particles, but particles are not 'solid stuff' and atoms are. Everything which we can see - unaided - in the universe, is made of atoms.
Without "solid stuff" we would not be here to observe whatever universe might otherwise exist in a 'particle-only" universe.
Speed is a derived unit because it is calculated by dividing a unit of distance by a unit of time. The SI unit of speed is meters per second (m/s), which is derived from the base units of meters for distance and seconds for time.
Basic quantities are independent and cannot be derived from other physical quantities, such as length, time, and mass. Derived quantities are those that are defined in terms of basic quantities, like speed, which is derived from length and time. Basic quantities are the building blocks for deriving other quantities, while derived quantities depend on basic quantities for their definition.
The fundamental units are based on specific standards for each unit. Derived units result from manipulating the fundamental units. For example, the SI unit for distance or length is the meter, and the SI unit for time is the second. If you divide meters by seconds, you get m/s, a derived unit for speed or velocity.
The SI unit of heat is the joule. It is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. One joule is equal to the work done when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter.
Matter is made up of atoms, which are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.

The basic living unit of all organisms is the
cells are the basic unit of living things
derived units come from basic units such as length, time, electrical current.AnswerIn SI, Derived Units are any units that are not Base Units. There are seven Base Units, from which all Derived Units are formed. For example, a coulomb (derived unit) is equal to an ampere second (both Base Units).
In Metric, the basic unit is a Meter from which all other metric units are derived. Common metric units are: Millimeter (mm) Centimeter (cm) Meter (m) Kilometer (km) For standard units, they all relate, but it is hard to weight any one over any others. Inch, Foot, Yard, Mile, etc. In Astronomy you will find: Astronomical Unit (AU) and is essentially equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun (149,597,871 km). Light Year (the distance light travels in a year) You may also see Light Seconds and Light Minutes.
The cell is the basic unit of life.
Speed is a derived unit because it is calculated by dividing a unit of distance by a unit of time. The SI unit of speed is meters per second (m/s), which is derived from the base units of meters for distance and seconds for time.
An example of a derived unit is the unit for speed, which is meters per second (m/s). Speed is derived by dividing the unit for distance (meters) by the unit for time (seconds).
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
There is no basic unit. Dimensions can be entered as either pixels, or imperial or metric units.
