Every living thing on the planet is made up of small units called "cells". Each cell has the ability to reproduce itself, or to morph onto a specialized cell type. Cells also have the ability to commit suicide, a phenomenon termed apoptosis. During apoptosis, cells dismantle themselves into tiny bits and pieces. These fragments are then eaten by neighboring cells. This process is very important, as it allows the controlled elimination of cells. For instance, the targeted apoptosis of cells leads to the formation of hollow structures such as the intestines.

地球上的每一个生物都是由称为“细胞”的小单位组成的。每个细胞都有自我复制的能力，或者变成一种特殊的细胞类型。细胞也有自杀的能力，这种现象称为细胞凋亡。在凋亡过程中，细胞将自己分解成微小的碎片。然后这些碎片被邻近的细胞吃掉。这个过程非常重要，因为它允许控制细胞的消除。例如，细胞的靶向凋亡导致中空结构如肠的形成。
