Definitely wrong, although I do not have a collegiate off-hand understanding of biology to really full decribe it.

But it comes down to what does a “cell” mean in biology? Even your case in point specifies an object with many cells in it.

Cell membranes don’t use simple diffusion to transport chemicals across. That’s the entire point of a “cell”. It’s a defined region that at least attempts to control its own various chemical balances. Cells do have many gates that allow many molecules across, unfortunately including many viruses and prions.

Well, from reading this its pretty clear to me that you don’t know much about biology. And yet you have really strong opinions on something you have no education in.

But it comes down to what does a “cell” mean in biology? Even your case in point specifies an object with many cells in it.

What are you even trying to say here?

Cell membranes don’t use simple diffusion to transport chemicals across.

The word “diffusion” is pretty commonly used to refer to both active and passive transport, and the ratio of cytoplasm volume to cell membrane area is relevant regardless.

By the way, you didn’t need to write an entire paragraph about homeostasis or try to define what a cell is.

I really have to ask… Why do you think humans aren’t so big on the scale of life? Your perspective really come across as human-centric. Not “bad” by itself, but still wholly incompatible with reality.

Your perspective really comes across like you’re high on something. You also didn’t understand what my comment was even about.
