Structural Organization of Cells and Cell Organelles
Section 2.8. The problems that will be discussed in this Section are of
extremely great importance, since the cell organelles determine the scheme of
cell building and functioning. But the very matter is rather “slippery” and hides
unknown number of “reefs”. The initial intention to mention only some well
known and typical cell organelles proved to be insufficient. It became clear that
they cannot be considered fragmentary, since they are closely connected and
realize the functioning of a common biosystem.
It should be said definitely, that in spite of the great achievements of
biology, as yet there is no complete and clear picture as of cells, as well as
of the connections and interactions among them. It turned out that for the
man is easier to build spaceships and orbital stations, than to reveal cell
structure and to create a prototype of it, though most elementary.
