If a cell can re-engineer itself (to not only change it's own functioning but that of the organism of which it's a part) that sounds pretty intelligent. It's something none of us know how to do.

I also don't know where the intelligence a cell would have resides. Now I would say intelligent responses in living cells or finches or whatever are designed in ie front-loaded. And the intelligence would reside in the mind of the designer(s). We build smart devices, smart phones, smart bombs, but the bombs and phones aren't really smart ... the people who design them are.
