DAVID’s comment: These are organic molecules working from their innate abilities to change shape and/or electrical attraction fields with ions charges. No brain or DNA instructions involved. The molecules are designed and chosen to fill a specific repetitive role without an mental thought involved.

These molecules are part of the cell. When you move your arm, all kinds of electrical actions take place, but your arm does not have a brain and does not indulge in mental thought. The concept of cellular intelligence rests on the idea that the cell itself has some sort of brain equivalent which issues instructions to the rest of the cell (see Buehler).
