Level 2 Life- simple cellular hydro-carbon- the Cell
|
|
| |
No structure at a molecular level better demonstrates the enaction of the 12
Creation Laws of the Universe than the cell. Cells are the third level of
Hydro-Carbon Biologics (Hydro-Carbon Biologics being the sixth level of
matter).

|
What is a cell? |
|
| |
The word cell comes from the Latin word
cella meaning small room, apartment, and the name given to a chapel (place of
worship) of ancient Roman temples. The usage of the word "cell" in biology to
describe "the smallest homogenous (holistic) structures of organisms" was not
coined until 1672.
|
|
| |
Bio chemically, cells are separated from
other molecular structures by three things:
|
|
| |
(1) ENCLOSURE- a molecular membrane that
separates the internal molecular world from the external world.
|
|
| |
(2) MANUFACTURE - the ability to self
replicate the conditions required for certain weak chemical and strong chemical
fusion/fission
|
|
| |
(3) MEMORY-the capacity for replication from one generation to another |
|
| |
As we will discuss in depth during the following points of this chapter, an
animal cell such as a human cell, should be thought more of a local community -
with its unique, living citizens being the mitochondria (in the case of animal
cells) or chloroplast's (for plant cells)- their health and good function
ultimately determining the health of the local community and apparatus.
|
|
| |
That in returning to the original meaning
of the word "cell"- a temple of living mitochondria or chloroplast's we can
understand the primary causes of a whole array of human and animal disease and
malfunction. |
|
| 12.16.2 |
The broad categories of cells |
|
| |
There are three broad categories of cellular
structures on Earth of which all organisms are either a member of one: |
|
| |
| (1) Mono cellular organisms |
Primordial cells with no organelles (i.e. have no mitochondria or
chloroplast's)
|
| (2) Multi-cell plant organisms-
|
Typically thicker cell walls than animal cells.
|
| (3) Multi-cell animal organisms |
Thin membrane cells usually with internal living fusion/fission
engines and independent binary memory system and living language ( hormones)
|
|
|
| |
In Molecular Biology (1) Is usually called by the long
sounding and strange word Prokaryota (Latin: pro=before + Greek: karyon, a nut,
kernel or nucleus). No's 2 and 3 are usually called by the word Eukaryota
(Greek:eu=well, + Greek karyon, a nut, kernel or nucleus). Cells that can
replicate all the molecular components they need are normally called
autotrophs. Cells that cannot replicate all the components they need and rely
on other cell structures as food for components are normally called
heterotrophs. |
|
| 12.16.3 |
The start of the path of confusing terms |
|
| |
It is from this point- the broadest category of the
cellular universe, that molecular science, biology and medicine become
unnecessarily complex. It is at this point that long and complex words ( such as
Eukaryota and heterotrophs) as well as a hundreds of acronyms ( e.g. NADH, ATP
etc) start to be used. |
|
| |
At one level, there is no alternative but to learn a
new language for a new self-aware universe (the cellular universe) whether we
call it biology, medicine, molecular science of whatever. At another level, let
us not forget everything that we have seen so far, for example some of the
words of Logos: |
|
| |
| o UCA is everything: everything is UCA |
| o Everything is density of awareness: density of awareness is everything |
| o Everything is dream: dream is everything |
| o Everything is memory: memory is everything |
| o Everything is unique: unique is everything |
|
|
| 12.16.4 |
Using common sense of UCA to make sense of the universe
of cells |
|
| |
With this in mind, as we begin to discuss a high level
of detail about the universe of cells, let us keep in mind everything we have
seen and read about UCA. At the same time, let us start our journey from a
point of common sense- let us consider all the common elements of cells first,
in the same order as the problems discussed in section 12.7. |
|
| |
|
o Problem #1- how do you create a stable environment? |
|
o Problem #2-how do you sustain strong chemical reactions? |
|
o Problem #3-how do you guarantee chemical memory? |
|
o Problem #4-how do more than one cell create a cohesive relationship? |
|
o Problem #5-how do you guarantee the survival of a complex cellular community?
|
|
o Problem #6-how do you co-ordinate proactive motion of a complex cellular
community?
