You're right; I'm just trying to not stray so far from the intending meaning of my post. However, our organelles are indirectly influenced by gravity as a result of cascading interactions with other macro systems.
I'm just sure someone could make the argument that one bacteria out there was shown to function identically without gravity, thus dismantling an argument I was never trying to make. Organelles are different because they interact with a larger cell structure, which interacts with a larger tissue structure, the latter two both having experimentally proven dependencies on gravity for optimal performance in their current structure. Yes, a lot of our cells would work more or less the same in zero grav-- but would they have ever formed that way in the first place? Your guess is as good as mine.
