among themselves and formulate plans to form complex structures?
The modular system in the world of cells can be compared to the
International Space Station. This station, built on the modular system, is
recognized as one of the greatest engineering achievements in human
history. No one can claim that this space station came to be by the chance
combination of atoms, molecules, wind, lightening, or solar energy. The
fact is, this space vehicle was built as a result of highly intricate engineer-
ing calculations, based on a pool of knowledge built up over the years by

The nearest thing to the modular system in the world of the cells is
the International Space Station that is still being constructed accord-
ing to a modular system.
