The dia grams show cross sec tions of the
cell mem branes of three dif fer ent struc -
tures. All the mem branes in these struc -
tures pos sess mol e cu les equipped with
very spe cial fea tures. The cell mem brane
pos sess es molec u lar pri or i ty, through
which essen tial sub stan ces such as glu -
cose are admit ted into the cell while harm -
ful sub stan ces are exclud ed. Also by
means of this spe cial struc ture, the needs Two-fold layer
of the cell are iden ti fied. This is just one of
the incom pa ra ble mir a cles cre at ed by
Allah.

the cell mem brane are very intel li gent in select ing the mate ri als that
they allow to enter. Different sub stan ces that enter the cell nat u ral ly
come in dif fer ent sizes—from minute elec trons and pho tons, pro tons
and ions, to small mol e cu les such as water, medi um-size mol e cu les such
as amino acids and sugar, and rath er large mol e cu les such as pro tein
and DNA. By way of its pumps, the cell mem brane can admit a nec es -
sa ry mol e cule, no mat ter what its size. If the mol e cule is too large to pass
through these gates, then the mem brane sig nals on enzymes near by for
assist ance, to widen the gate on the cell mem brane.
Once this mol e cule has been admit ted, the enzymes go back into
action to return the gate to its pre vi ous state. During this proc ess, no
harm befalls the gate, the cell mem brane, or the cell. The mol e cu les act
togeth er in a divi sion of labor just as if they were com mu ni cat ing. If
there were no mol e cu les with such fea tures on the cell mem brane, it
would def i nite ly mean the end of life. In the absence of these gates,
nutri ents could not be admit ted to nour ish the cell and the waste pro -
