We can look at a cell as a Turing-complete bio-chemical machine. Given the right chemical substances, it produces the desired outcomes. For example, an intra-cell protein building machinery is very much an interpreter executing code (from RNA). All other stuff like replication, cognition, etc is built upon these basic cellular blocks.
