Page 123 - The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

No ration al per son can main tain that these cells pos -
sess con scious ness and rea son. This mirac u lous Cre a tion
we are look ing at belongs to Allah, Who cre at ed us out of
noth ing. Allah cre at ed every sin gle cell and taught them
all their duties. As a result of this per fect ly func tion ing
sys tem, every cell per forms the task allot ted to it.
- Pinocytosis is one of the meth ods employed to
trans port into the cell sub stan ces too large to pass direct -
ly through the cell mem brane. By this meth od, large mol -
e cu les out side the cell are taken inside the cell with in
small sacs. These large pro teins that touch the cell mem -
brane ini ti ate a reac tion and cause a change in the cell's
sur face ten sion so that the cell mem brane folds inwards
to enfold the pro tein. That part of the mem brane con nect -
ed to the sac sep a rates from the mem brane and attach es
to the cyto plasm. Thus use ful sub stan ces una ble to enter
the cell by sim ple trans port are absorbed into it. Let us
now con sid er this proc ess in rath er more detail.
In order for large mol e cu les to enter the cell, they
bind to a spe cial recep tor on the sur face of the mem brane.
These recep tors sur round the exte ri or of the mem brane
and become con cen trat ed around the inden ta tion-like
sacs. When pro tein mol e cu les attach to the recep tors, the
sur face of the cell mem brane chan ges in such a way as to
cause the sac to col lapse in toward the inte ri or of the cell.
Fibrous and shrink a ble pro teins form a net on the part of
these sacs fac ing the cell, allow ing the pro teins bind ing to
the recep tor to be enfold ed. Immediately there aft er, that
