  electrons, up quarks and down quarks. Everything on the planet is made of these three particles. Air, cheese, people, rocks, everything.

  and why not – it’s a valid answer!!
  
  You could say carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids if you want to go to a smaller scale
  
  To go smaller you could say atoms……

  If you want to know the chemistry, by mass we are:
  
  Oxygen 65%
  Carbon 18%
  Hydrogen 10%
  Nitrogen 3%
  Calcium 1.5%
  Phosphorus 1.2%
  Potassium 0.2%
  Sulfur 0.2%
  Chlorine 0.2%
  Sodium 0.1%
  Magnesium 0.05%
  Iron 3.8g in men, 2.3g in women
  Cobalt, Copper, Zinc, Iodine < 0.05% each
  Selenium, Fluorine < 0.01% each
  
  So that's what you're made of!
