Why does matter matter?

Why is matter necessary for biological systems?

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Without matter, atoms would not exist. Elements will not exist, compounds would be not made through chemical bonding, molecules and macromolecules wouldn’t exist. The levels of organization for all living things would be disrupted. Cell organelles would not exist, so cells themselves would not exist. If biological matter does not exist in a cellular level, biological systems cannot be created.
