The Lives of a Cell

This article mentions how cells are the unifying force of life on Earth. What is more astonishing that its diversity of cells such as prokaryotes, eukaryotes, or bacteria, fungi, protists, is the high probability that every one of these organisms derive, originally, from that single cell. Although the differences still set us apart in our look and size , color, etc. we all share genes that resemble one another. The reader goes one to mention how he attempts to consider the earth as an organism, but it is too complex. I do agree that on earth there are an enormous variations to show the complexities and how it is impossible to consider earth a simple organism to classify. His connection and revelation of how earth is just like a cell. I completely agree with him as he mentions this because the cell as simple as it may seem as the building blocks of our very existence has a world in itself. The cell is just as complex as the earth is with all the organelles inside the cell and with so much undiscovered knowledge the lives of a cell is a daunting task to understand.
