Perhaps instead of saying a single cell has both "matter" and "consciousness",
it could be said that a cell has "living matter" and "energy".
As opposed to a rock, which is "matter".....but not "living matter";
or a bolt of lightning....which certainly has "energy" but no "matter", in its own, permanent right.
Not all energy is alive, but all living things have some amount of energy.
Not all matter is alive, but all living things have matter.
