And for this reason it is always transition metals, most importantly iron and copper, which are used in enzymes involved in oxygen activation, transport, and storage. Without their unique capacity to activate and reduce oxygen, oxidative metabolism would be impossible. But cells are not just complex beyond any sensible measure and beyond any other conceivable material form. They appear in so many ways supremely fit to fulfill their role as the basic unit of biological life. One element of this fitness is manifest in their incomparable diversity of form. Contrast a neuron with a red blood cell, a skin cell with a liver cell, an amoeboid leucocyte with a muscle cell. Each of these different forms is found in the human body, and many more. Or consider the diversity of ciliate protozoans. From the trumpet-like Stentor to the dashing Paramecium, the universe of ciliate form is absurdly diverse. Or take the radiolarians (see Figure 1.1). Even within this small related group of organisms, the diversity of cell forms is stunning. And yet every member of this fantastic zoo of radiolarian forms is built on exactly the same canonical design. Kim, Hyun-min (5 February 2013).

Ye-sung is a lawyer defending her late father for a crime he did not commit. While leaving the prison court after a successful trial, Ye-sung notices a balloon caught on barbed wire and reminisces.

E. coli travel by the propeller- like action of the bacterial flagellum. Others do so via the beating action of cilia. Some creep and crawl. Some put out pseudopodia and grasp small objects in their immediate vicinity.In this review, I’ll cover the aspects of Denton’s book that reveal the fine-tuning of chemistry for life. 5

I also am indebted to Iain Johnston and Tyler Hampton for careful criticisms and readings of earlier drafts of the monograph, for the valuable input of science reviewers later in the process, and for the staff at the Discovery Institute for their considerable editing efforts, especially Jonathan Witt and Rachel Adams. INTRODUCTION Miracle in Cell No. 7 was directed by Nuel Naval and written by Mel del Rosario under Viva Films. [6] The film is an adaptation of the 2013 South Korean film of the same name. The original film was directed by Lee Hwan-kyung. [7]Viscous drag is the tendency of a fluid to resist flow and is a result of a fluid’s viscosity. Mammals have 1000 capillaries per square millimeter. Capillaries are 40 microns apart. Most cells are one to three cell widths from a capillary. The viscous drag of water when pumped through capillaries causes pressure in the capillaries. If the viscosity of water were much greater, the thin cell walls of capillaries would rupture. The cell walls of the capillaries need to be thin to facilitate the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients. The viscosity of water facilitates the rapid diffusion of oxygen and nutrients by permitting the rapid flow of blood through capillaries. If water were less viscous, the increased mobility of water molecules would make cellular structures less stable. Denton explains:

Turkey nominates 'Miracle in Cell No. 7' for Oscar". Daily Sabah. 10 November 2020 . Retrieved 10 November 2020. Editor’s note : We are pleased to offer this excerpt from Dr. Denton’s new book, The Miracle of the Cell .The Miracle blew me away, almost like a religious experience. I have researched and written about ID for 15 years but as a former victim of 30 years of intense materialist propaganda, I still habitually think in ways that originate in that worldview. Denton shows that an intelligent designer already had living things in mind when creating the universe with all its differing elements. Because I had always viewed matter as some random cosmic product, which the designer eventually used for building living things, this came as a revelation to me. Before the trial takes place, Yong-gu is trained by the Room 7 inmates on how to answer potential prosecution questions and he becomes proficient in answering them. Unfortunately, the commissioner beats Yong-gu before the trial in a fit of rage, threatening to kill his daughter if he does not confess. Left with no other choice, Yong-gu sacrifices himself by lying that he killed the commissioner's daughter to protect Ye-sung. Yong-gu is then sentenced to death and the execution date is scheduled for December 23, which happens to fall on Ye-sung's birthday. Feeling sorry for Yong-gu, the inmates decide to build a hot air balloon for Yong-gu to escape. During a prison concert, the inmates send Yong-gu and Ye-sung on the balloon while the guards pretend to be overwhelmed, but the balloon's rope is caught by barbed wire. On the day of Yong-gu's execution, the inmates and Yong-gu celebrate Ye-sung's birthday before he is executed. In the embryo it is not just one cell moving towards a specific target but millions of cells, each moving towards specific targets in an ever-changing kaleidoscope of different embryonic cells and chemical signals, with each cell obeying a strictly choreographed program, a program directing the timing of gene expression and a unique succession of changes in cell shape and cell surface proteins and adhesive properties in different cells in different regions of the embryo. The sodium and potassium cations are uniquely suited for rapid transport across cell membranes to establish electrical potentials. Conran, Pierce (25 February 2013).

By the beginning of the twentieth century, more than 100,000 organic compounds had been documented. And all the basic compounds of living organisms—the twenty common amino acids used in proteins and the four nucleotides used in DNA, as well as many of the sugars and fats and fatty acids found in living organisms—had been synthesized in the lab.

Michael Denton: The Miracle of the Cell Michael Denton and Eric H. Anderson October 28, 2020 Intelligent Design View at YouTube Keep in mind that these functions are not carried out by a human being or a machine such as a computer or robot under man's control, but are merely in a cover enclosing the cell, which is made up of fat mixed here and there with various proteins. We also need to consider that the cell membrane, which can handle so many complex tasks flawlessly, has no brain or center of thinking. The unique fitness of the cell to serve as the fundamental unit of life is also manifest in its amazing abilities and the diversity of functions it performs. Even the tiny E. coli, a cylinder-shaped bacterium in the human gut, has spectacular capabilities. Howard Berg has marveled at the versatility and capacities of this minuscule organism, calling its talents legion. He notes that this tiny organism, less than one-millionth of a meter in diameter and two-millionths of a meter long, so small that 20 would fit end-to-end in a single rod cell of the human retina is nevertheless adept at counting molecules of specific sugars, amino acids, or dipeptides; at integration of similar or dissimilar sensory inputs over space and time; at comparing counts taken over the recent and not so recent past; at triggering an all-or-nothing response; at swimming in a viscous medium… even pattern formation. ⁴
