cells are made up of complexes. in other words, cell is itself a colletion of large no of carbohydrates and protien molecules.   eg- you already know that cell contains glucose, and glucose itself made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms (C6H12O).

Well, its actual answer lies in their respective definitions.
Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms whereas Atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element. 
The relationship is that cells are made from atoms, all cell functions are performed using atoms, all energy comes from atoms.
It would be very difficult to guess at how many atoms are in a cell, especially as each cell will vary greatly in its composition.
