The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it’s less catchy, but human cells don’t have a cell wall.
Human cells also don’t have chloroplasts. Maybe the cell membrane is the fence of the cell.
I did a podcas (I know 🙄), where we talked about how much better our civilization would run if we modeled it after a cell or organism. Like for example, only about 10% of the total amount of ATP generated by the mitochondria goes to the nucleus, so maybe the people in charge in America should only get about 10% of the total distributed wealth/resources
Some of them seem a bit obtuse. “Municipal hall” doesn’t immediately conjure a vivid image of it’s role.
Edit: the joke has already been made here.
The Human is the Fediverse of cells.
Wtf is a workhouse?
How about the ER is the Amazon Warehouse, since it folds up protein?
Or maybe the ER is the gym, since it synthesizes protein?
Or maybe workhorse since it seems to do so much…
There’s a wall on that cell, like some sort of… Cell wall-
Wait, say that again
Ok now do the ye olde version

“what part of the cell is the red arrow pointing at?”
Well, I’ve got a 50/50 shot if I exclude “B. Hair” and “D. Eyeball”
The cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein is the office guy who’s always around but nobody knows what his job is.
of the cell
This shit gives me existential dread and hope.
Like the complexity of cells might as well be an alien civilization, but all that somehow results in something that it’s like to be me. That’s so fundamentally mysterious, all I can do is conclude that consciousness has to be the prior of the universe. So on the one hand I’m nothing, and on the other, maybe I’m immortal. I won’t know until I’m dead.
To add to that, similarly like there are microscopic and macroscopic processes we can only indirectly perveive, there are probably also processes on a much smaller and much larger timescale we can therefore only indirectly perceive.
Like one cell could be the whole universe of some absurdly small conscious beings with a lifespan of less than a femtosecond.
Utterly absurd, and yet we know this with far more certainty than the most well subscribed religions know anything. There are so laughably unimaginative too compared to this reality. And yet, the knowing is also a burden. 😅
This is absoplasmic reticulous.

the mitochondria is the cell of the cell
Cells within cells within cells, interlinked
And blood-black nothingness began to spin… A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem… And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

For real? Any tips for those of us having problems?
