So i have a question for my imaginary audience. Actually, i am just going to call you the IA (yes i just invented an acronym so i can save time typing to myself, I am that sad). So, IA. The Definition of a Cell is:
"a usually microscopic structure containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and, in plants, a cell wall; the basic structural unit of all organisms."
They are semi-autonomous and can perform individual functions without external assistance. And so i pose the question:
Where do you draw the line between symbiosis and a complete organism?
Multicellular organism evolved from single celled protozoa eating other protozoa and both somehow managing to co-exist with one inside of the other. So really multicellular organism are just a couple cells that exist inside of each other. So by this logic can i assume that human beings are just a shit load of little cells all working together to stay alive?So we are a compilation of a bunch of organism working in a kind of symbiosis! Hmmmmm... I will let that sit for a second. I am sure there is a simple answer to this and I am just being naive. So its a good thing no one reads this blog or else i might be taken down a notch. <---------------Clever Reference to Title
