Since this is true what do you think makes us sentient beings?

After all we are just a bunch of chemicals. Shouldn't we just be inanimate objects ?

"Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life."

No.
"Shouldn't we just be inanimate objects" is a non sequitur.
Life comes from within material interactions.
Not even inorganic reactions are "inanimate".
There is not an Platonic like, inmaterial previous "quality" that inhabitate living things.
As much as there is not something like a "Redness" entity, but a certain range of light wavelength.
