i see some ambiguity in your citings "The_Kid". Specifically in the examples that you have laid down. Only unicellular organisms such as eukaryotes can make a choice for their cellular wellness as they have a simple mind whereas leukocytes are part of a bigger organism where each cellular function is dictated upon by their mitochondrial DNA. But if your query would refer to the actions made by a unicellular organism with a distinct mind and simple intelligence of its own then basically it is mainly a reaction or a chemical response to the outside environment.
To my second point regarding the theory of evolution, i guess one cannot discount the factor of the outside intelligence (refering to the brain.....unless you meant some other intelligence) as the theory was basically postulated based on the organism and not on a cellular aspect unless the organism is unicellular.
