Question
Why doesn't gravitation apply in a cell?

Yours, Annelie

Answer
Hi Annelie.  It does apply.  Gravity is a force that is applied to all matter including cells but gravity is the weakest force in nature.  Consider a single celled organism like the amoeba swimming in a drop of water.  It does not float about weightless but is subject to the Earth's gravitational field
